再以一个申请MPA硕士学位的推荐信为例：

　　Since I first met Al ice in 2006, I’ve known that her eventual goal was to work for an international development organization, specifically in a management role, where she can have a direct impact on developing societies. This role will enable her to follow in the footsteps of her father, who led UNICEF’s South Asian efforts for many years. Today, after her extraordinary experiences in Sri Lanka with CARE, I truly believe the time is right for Alice to pursue this dream. Alice is fluent in English, Sinhala, and Tamil, which has helped us tremendously with our international clients. Though I have always thought it made sense for Alice to follow her father’s lead, I understood her need to do so only after establishing her own identity with CARE. This is the best moment for her to leverage her unique background and blend of cultural and language skills and pursue management roles in an international development NGO.

　　她的最终目标是为一个国际发展组织工作,特别是在一个可以直接影响社会发展的管理岗位工作。这个角色将让她跟随她父亲的脚步。她父亲为领导联合国儿童基金会南亚努力了许多年。如今,在拥有了在斯里兰卡的美国援外合作署非凡的实践经历后,我相信Alice是时候去追求她的梦想了。Alice精通多国语言：英语、僧伽罗语和泰米尔语,这对于我们与国际客户合作帮助极大。虽然我一直觉得Alice继承她父亲的职业也是很好的选择,但是我理解她这样的做法。现在是她利用独特的背景,文化和语言技能的最好的时刻，也是她追求国际发展的非政府组织的管理角色的大好时机。

　　结合以上两个例子，推荐信中都描述了申请者的未来的职业目标或求职意向，并用相关实例证明了申请者在该领域的发展潜力。这样的推荐信更真实，更具体，更能展示申请者的实力。对于申请很有帮助。
