Dear [Recipients Name],

There is a nurse who has worked the halls of this hospital day and night since she was fresh out of nursing school. She has watched over patients and even over the doctors and nurses who worked alongside her.

Madeline Eres is the testimony of the word compassion. She freely gives love and understanding to those hurting and in need. That is why I am nominating her for the Edna G. Turnbuckle Award.

Madeline has worked on almost every floor of this hospital. She has watched over laboring mothers and newborn babies and has cared for the severely injured or infirmed in the Trauma Ward. Once, she even cared for my wife during a particularly difficult illness.

Never have I seen her be too tired to give to someone who asked. Her energy knows no bounds, and there's almost always a song on her lips.

There is no one I have known in my entire career as a doctor who was more deserving of an award rewarding compassion in medicine. Madeline Eres deserves the 2008 Edna G. Turnbuckle award.

Sincerely,

[Senders Name]

Endorsement Letters

Endorsement letters are letters written to give support or public approval to someone or something. In most cases, these letters are used to recommend or endorse individuals or programs. There are many reasons why you may want to write an endorsement letter. Some of these include endorsing or expressing support for a new bill, endorsing a student for an award, introducing and endorsing a politician, and endorsing a bid, just to mention a few. Writing endorsement letters for any of these scenarios will provide the information necessary to confirm the selected individual or item.

There are a few things you should keep in mind when writing endorsement letters. First of all, these are formal letters, and therefore they should have some professional approach. Use clear and specific language. Introduce yourself and give details about what you are endorsing. If you are endorsing a candidate for an award, for example, mention the award for which he/she is nominated. Mention how long you have known the candidate and the type of relationship you share. Clearly state the reasons behind your endorsement request. Make sure that the information you have provided is correct. End with an offer to answer any questions.

Letters to Doctors, Nurses, Hospitals

Letters to doctors, nurses, and hospitals are, simply, letters written to doctors, nurses, hospitals and/or any other physician or qualified practitioner of medicine. Such letters could be inquiry letters to inquire after patients' medical records or thank-you letters to thank the recipients for saving the life of loved ones. In rare cases, letters to doctors, nurses, and hospitals could be complaint letters to file a complaint about inadequate medical care. All letters to doctors, nurses, and hospitals are formal in nature. Depending on the content, the letters can be addressed to individuals or to all relevant bodies.

There are few things that you should keep in mind when writing letters to doctors, nurses, and hospitals. For starters, you need to address the letters to the right persons. State the purpose of your letter from the word go. If you are writing to thank a specific doctor who saved your life, for instance, mention the name of the doctor and pass your message accordingly. If you are writing to ask for your medical records, provide any relevant information that may be required by the hospital. Close the letter by asking for a response or by calling the recipient to action.
