Dear [Recipients Name],
Good day. My name is Marc Harris, and I am Ms. Joan Hobb's accountant.
I have been doing Joan's tax reports as well as giving her financial advice for three years now. I would go so far as to say that through this, Joan has grown to be my friend. Joan works full-time as a TV producer while helping run a small media company that she owns with a few other people. Because of these, Joan is more than financially capable of purchasing your property. She is also very trustworthy and diligent, as evidenced by her job and her company's reputation for producing good work.
I believe Ms. Joan Hobbs will be an honest and very cooperative buyer. I also think you will be leaving your house in good hands with her. If you need further information, you may call or e-mail me to my contact details below.
Sincerely,
[Senders Name]

Further things to consider when writing reference letters to landlords
Reference Letters
Reference letters are letters written to endorse someone's general character and personality. A reference letter differs from a recommendation letter in that the latter supports the person's application for a specific job or education program and is usually addressed to a particular person. A reference letter is more general in nature, refers to the overall character of the person, and is not addressed to anyone in particular. It is normally addressed as "Dear sir/madam," or "To whom it may concern." The person who writes the reference letter is known as the referee, and he/she could be a close friend or colleague.
For you to write good reference letters, you need to know the candidates well to be able to express their best character. Start off with a salutation and the name of the person the letter is about. Write a sentence or two explaining how you know the person and for how long. Mention the strong qualities, characteristics, and strengths of the person in question. Giving brief examples, discuss why you feel the person will be a great addition to office and work culture. Use strong verbs but do not exaggerate. Conclude with your contacts and signature.
Letters to Landlords
Letters to landlords are letters written to people who rent lands, buildings, or apartments to tenants. Whether you need repairs, raise a complaint, move out, or add a roommate, it is important to put it in writing. It provides proof that you have requested something or taken some action. Even if you are currently friends with your landlord and resolve your issues informally, you may need evidence of your communication or other requests some day. A letter to your landlord may spur him/her into action and will keep both of you within the law.
Letters to landlords can be formal or informal depending on your relationship with the recipients. Address the recipient by his/her name and use the appropriate salutation. If you are not sure about the name and address of the recipient, confirm with the lease agreement. State the purpose of your letter so that the recipient can have an idea on how to respond, if he/she needs to respond at all. Include important details such as dates, apartment or house number, etc. Finish with a call to action and sign the letter to make it official. Make a copy of the letter for yourself before sending it.
