When to use this letter

Use when someone you know well needs a credible third-party voice behind their application — a visa or immigration application, a tenancy, a job, a court matter, or a benefit claim — and you can speak from firsthand experience.

What to include

  • Who you are, your relationship to the person, and exactly how long you have known them
  • The specific application or matter you are supporting, named in the first paragraph
  • One or two concrete examples you personally witnessed, not general praise
  • Anything you can verify or commit to (accommodation, employment, finances), stated specifically
  • Your contact details and an offer to answer follow-up questions

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Generic praise ('a wonderful person') with no firsthand examples to back it up
  • Not naming the specific application, case, or reference number the letter supports
  • Claiming facts you could not personally know, which undermines the whole letter's credibility
  • Writing several pages — decision-makers skim; one focused page carries more weight
