Dear Sir or Madam

To whom it may concern:
I am writing on behalf of my husband to tell you all the reasons why he should be admitted to your school.

He is a hard worker and is very good at what he does. I can count on one hand the number of people I know our age who have a work ethic comparable to his. He works the hours no one else wants to work, does the jobs no one else can do and rarely complains doing it. Beyond that, he has a compassionate soul and a generous nature. He daily performs a task that most people cringe at the thought of but he understands their suffering and tries to make the experience more tolerable. He takes time to not just do his job but to make sure the patient feels heard and comfortable before leaving their room. There is a lot to be said for good patient care skills, which he certainly possesses.

He has accomplished more in the last few years than even I ever expected he would realize. He has bought a house, started school and gotten married, all within the last 18 months. Not only has he accomplished all these tasks, but he has put careful consideration into each decision for how they would affect his future. Our home has a lot of potential that we are in the midst of making a reality. He has made better grades than he has ever made before in school. And, let's face it, he didn't do too badly in the marriage department, if I might say so myself.

Finally, he has to be accepted because our future is nearly completely dependant upon this decision. Certainly, if he doesn't make it in this year we will just try again next year. But that is an entire year to wait to realize your future which is a very hard pill to swallow. There just cannot be that many applicants that are more deserving of this opportunity.

P.S. If you accept him into school, his wife will bake you cookies every week for the duration of the school. She'll have to do something to pass all the free time alone she'll have!
