Subject: Recommendation for Internal Transfer

Date: 24 November 2024

As discussed, you agreed with my suggestion that the position of [Title] is best filled by internal candidate instead of going external. You asked me for my recommendation of an individual in the company who would be suitable for that position. 

After careful consideration, I have come to the view that FIRST, would be able to handle this position very capably. FIRST has been with [Company] for [number] years as [Position]. [He / She] has shown leadership, enthusiasm and energy in [his / her] work. [He / She] has been leading a team of [number] and is well liked by [his / her] team members. I am sure [he / she] will have everyone’s support for the role.
