My dear friend (name),
I am thinking of taking Bhanu Charan in our service as a domestic servant. Bhanu Charan does not bring any testimonials but informs that he has worked at your place continuously for three years, he has asked me to seek your reference.
I shall feel obliged to you if you please intimate me with his work, conduct and behaviour. I shall give my final decision only on receipt of a reply from you.
I want your frank opinion about this boy and assure you that all information supplied by you will be kept strictly confidential.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Rest is all fine. With love to chaps.
Yours sincerely

My dear friend (name),
ADVERTISEMENTS:
I am in receipt of your letter enquiring about the work, conduct and behaviour of our domestic servant Bhanu Charan. I may certify that Bhanu Charan is a reliable person. During the last three years he has been in our service he has given no cause for complaint. His behaviour towards us all is so sweet and captivating that we hardly ever regard him as our servant but treat him as a member of the family. But owing to certain unavoidable financial circumstances we are no longer in a position to keep a domestic servant. If you need one you will not be disappointed in Bhanu Charan. Besides, he knows every type of work and can be trusted. You may safely give him a chance.
Yours sincerely,
Name
