referral letter

Written job endorsement

A referral letter is a formal document from one professional recommending that a client or patient be seen by another professional or institution.

Doctors write referral letters to specialists; teachers write them for students applying to schools; employers write them for job candidates.

The letter typically explains why the referral is being made and provides relevant background: My doctor sent a referral letter to the cardiologist.
