What Is a Referral Letter?
A Referral Letter is a formal statement composed for the benefit of an individual who needs employment, enrollment into an educational institution of their choice, or the medical attention of another doctor.
When you are writing a Referral Letter, you need to introduce yourself in case the recipient does not know you personally, indicate the name of the individual for whom you are drafting a referral, list their skills and qualifications if they need it for a job or studies or elaborate on their medical history, current treatment, and medication if you are a doctor, and explain why you are preparing this referral on behalf of another individual. Additionally, you may recommend a business partner to your clients if you are able to vouch for them via a Business Referral Letter.
Referral Letter Types

- Sample Medical Referral Letter. Use this letter regardless of what kind of a medical practitioner you are - the purpose of this letter is to provide the information about the patient to a different specialist.
