Have you seen them help others?  \n􀂃 What experiences or memories do you have involving them that make you believe they have good character?  \n􀂃 What sorts of goals do they have for the future? Would a pardon help achieve these goals?  \no Add a brief closing statement requesting that the Pardon Board grants this person a pardon. Thank them for their consideration.  \n􀁸 Make sure to sign and date the bottom of the letter  \n􀁸 It may be a good idea to include contact information (email/phone number) in case the Pardon Board has follow-up questions  \n􀁸 Give or send the completed letter to the person applying for a pardon. They  \nshould make a copy for themselves and include the original with all the other application materials to be submitted to the Pardon Board.  \nExample:  \nDear Pardon Advisory Board:  \nI am writing a letter of recommendation for Jane Smith. I have been one of her best friends since we were little. I believe she is an ideal candidate for a pardon. I have always known her to be resilient, kind, determined, and honest. I never could have gotten through college without her—she helped me raise my kids like they were her own while I was a single mother and trying to finish my studies. I remember she would always give a helping hand to those in her community, like volunteering at church and helping organize neighborhood block parties. I know she has goals she wants to accomplish, like getting her master’s degree in childhood education, and this felony conviction is making it more difficult for her, even though it happened so long ago.  \nPlease grant her pardon application. Thank you foryour consideration.  \nSincerely,  \n  [signature]  \n  [date]  \n[optional: contact information]","cbCaivW3WruSNytv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivW3WruSNytv","pdf",103451,"English","# Writing Checklist\n## Required Address and Coverage\n## Closing, Signature, and Contact Info\n# Example Letter","[{\"question\":\"What should the letter address and how should it be formatted?\",\"answer\":\"Address the letter to the “Pardon Advisory Board.” Sign and date the letter at the bottom, and optionally include email or phone contact information for follow-up questions.\"},{\"question\":\"Which topics must the recommendation letter cover?\",\"answer\":\"The letter should state who the recommendation is for, the writer’s relationship to the person, why the writer believes they are an ideal candidate, and specific reasons the person deserves a pardon, including good qualities, prior help, character evidence, and future goals.\"},{\"question\":\"What should the closing section include?\",\"answer\":\"Include a brief closing statement requesting that the Pardon Board grant the person a pardon and thank the board for its consideration.\"}]","Letter of Recommendation for a Pardon - Tips and Example | PDF",1789565416]
