Dear [Recipients Name],
I was honored to learn you valued my opinion enough to let me submit a nominee for this year's English Council Award. Immediately, I knew who I thought deserved this prestigious honor. So it is with great pleasure that I give you the name of Emile Brown. She is an amazing student with stunning talent in all areas of literature. In fact, I believe she is also a contender for the Senior English Award at graduation.
Emile would certainly be a wonderful representative for our school. She is someone who can have incredible conversations with anyone about anything. If you have never had the opportunity to visit with her, you are missing an amazing spirit.
I hope you will seriously consider Emile Brown. I think she truly personifies what the English Council Award board is looking for in young American students.
Sincerely,
[Senders Name]

Further things to consider when writing endorsement letters to schools
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 Schools
Letters to schools are letters written to institutions designed to provide learning environment and spaces to pupils and students. There are many times when you may feel the need to write to a school administration. Maybe you want to recommend a student or employee or want to apply for an academic program. Perhaps your child has a disability, and you want to make sure that he/she is receiving special education services. Whatever the issue, putting your thoughts in writing avoids confusion since it provides you and the recipient with a record of your request. It is, therefore, crucial to keep a copy of any letter you send.
All letters to schools must use the standard business letter style. Start your letter with the proper address and salutation. Introduce yourself and explain the reason for your letter clearly and concisely. Depending on the content of your letter, provide any documentation that gives the recipient reference to the case or clarifies your concerns. Keep the tone polite, respectful, and professional. Close by thanking the recipient for his/her time and with a note of anticipation of positive feedback. Sign off and proofread the final draft before sending it.
