Re:  Reference Letter for {FORMER EMPLOYEE NAME}

Dear {PROSPOECTIVE EMPLOYER NAME}

Our records indicate that {FORMER EMPLOYEE NAME} was employed by {BUSINESS NAME} in the position of {POSITION} from {DATE} to {DATE}.  At the time of their departure {HIS/HER} salary was {SALARY}.

I worked with {FORMER EMPLOYEE NAME} in that capacity of {YOUR POSITION} and we interacted on a {DAILY/WEEKLY/MONTHLY} basis. Unfortunately, {HE/SHE} did not meet our job expectations.  During {HIS/HER} employment, {HE/SHE} was unable to {INSERT INFORMATION}, and {HE/SHE} was unable to correct this problem despite repeated discussions and warnings.

{FORMER EMPLOYEES NAME} left employment with {BUSINESS NAME} and unfortunately {HE/SHE} would not be eligible for rehire with our Company.

Sincerely

{NAME}

{POSITION}

{BUSINESS NAME}
