To Whom It May Concern:

I have been asked to write a letter for Karen Lau and I am glad to do so.
I have known Karen for approximately five years. During that period of time, Kar
en and I have often discussed her aspirations and her goals in terms of psycholo
gy. In spite of working unusual long hours at night, Karen has maintained a GPA
of 3.8. during her studies for her master degree in psychology, which she comple
ted in 2008.
Throughout the time in which I have known Karen, I have been profoundly impresse
d with her enthusiasm, a fervor, and determination to achieve her goal. She has
the personality and fortitude to be successful at any endeavor for which she des
ires.
I can recommend Karen to you without any reservations. If you have any questions
, or concerns, please feel free to contact me at the below number.
