To Whom It May Concern,

It is indeed a pleasure for me to write this letter of recommendation for Zhou Jie, a student of mine for the past two years in Peking University. During his four years study in our university, he has distinguished himself in this university, and shows great potential for future accomplishments.

Zhou is in the Math & Physics Enrichment Program of our university. His achievements in all his subjects place him among the top five percent of students in the grade.

Zhou is equally strong in language. His English proficiency has reached the level of CET 6.

Finally, Zhou is a model student. He is captain of the school basketball team, and a member of several student organizations.

In conclusion, Zhou is one of the most gifted students I have had the pleasure to teach. He is most deserving of any opportunity you can give to him.

Very truly yours,

Li Ming
