Subject: Letter of Recommendation for CFB Petawawa
To Whom It May Concern,
I have known Richard Brennan for many years. Richard has been presently working on my horse farm as a labourer. He has skills in mucking box stalls, grooming, daily chores, and repairing minor problems. Richard is a very hard worker, well motivated and very organized. I also believe that Richard is very consistent and applies himself well to his assigned tasks. He has shown iniative and willingness to take on new tasks.
I would recommend Richard Brennan for an employee at your company. He is a smart person and loves to meet new people.

Well written, but in my opinion, I would add a few more adjectives to describe your employee:
To Whom It May Concern, (USE COLON, NOT COMMA)
I have known (I HAVE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF KNOWING) Richard Brennan for many years (BE SPECIFIC ON # OF YEARS - "...for well over ___ years"). Richard has been presently working on my horse farm as a labourer. He has (IMPRESSIVE SKILLS- you could say?) skills in mucking box stalls, grooming, daily chores, and repairing minor problems. Richard is a very hard worker, well motivated and very organized. I also believe that Richard is very consistent (... RICHARD HAS CONSISTANTLY APPLIED) and applies himself well to his assigned tasks. He has (ALWAYS) shown iniative and willingness to take on new tasks (ALREADY USED "TASK" CONSIDER USING "RESPONSIBLITIES".
I would recommend Richard Brennan for an employee at your company. He is a smart (AN INTELLIGENT - might sound more professional) person and loves to meet new people.
* Maybe add a concluding sentence like: I HAVE NO DOUBTS THAT HIS STRONG WORK ETHICS IN ALL THAT HE UNDERTAKES WILL MAKE HIM A WONDERFUL ASSET TO YOUR COMPANY.

Yep, it's a traditional approach. Many of the bigger companies now go for letters along the lines of -
"Person A worked as Role A in Department B, from Date 1 to Date 2."
Why? Just in case the new employer sues them. As long as the contents are true and supported by facts, then I'd say it's a good letter for the employee and an OK letter for the writer.
No spelling errors either :)

2nd sentence- either "is presently working" or "has been working", not has been presently working
5th sentence- delete the "I also believe that" and start the sentence with Richard is very....
Last sentence should be moved to the first paragraph.
The rest is pretty good, although it kind of sounds like one huge cliche.

initiative not iniative
don't say "I also believe" it's too passive. Say "Richard is also"
For employment, not for employee.
Also, cut out the last sentence. it has nothing to do with anything.

Ok except for "has been presently" - it's either "has been" or "is presently"...not both!
