This is an application for a reference letter?

Question

I have known this applicant for _______ years in the capacity of __________________.

I have been her doctor and she also volunteered for me.
What should I write ? in the capacity of what ?

Answer 1

Perhaps you could expand on this sentence a bit:

I have known this applicant for nn years. She has been my patient for nn years, and did volunteer work for me as a xx.
with xx being whatever it was she did ... ie did she file papers, did she make copies, whatever it was

Answer 2

what is the application for? It's not really anybody's business that you are her doctor, and mentioning that might be less than legal/ethical. Saying that you've known her for so long, and what kind of volunteering she did, and for how long, and how much you liked her labor would be appropriate.

Answer 3

I have two ways of looking at the answer.
1. in an office, start with To Whom it May Concern I have known the individual for _______# of years and have worked with this person (him/her)
in this capacity_______.

2. general laborer, what you have is adequate enough.
