15:48:08beachI don't know the client, nor the client's address. And I don't know what the client wants from you so I don't know what aspects of your work to emphasize.
15:49:16jackdanielah, OK, sorry for not providing them. I've meant a recomendation letter I could forward myself. basically I have a clim-related contract opportunity for a company that has clim-like implementation of their backend in common lisp
15:50:00beachIt is not done that way. The client can not trust you to just forward things. You give me the address and the information you want to emphasize and I write the letter of recommendation.
15:50:51beachImagine for instance that I wanted to write a bad recommendation. If I gave that letter to you, you simply wouldn't forward it, and the client would get only positive information. That means that the client can't trust information coming from you.
15:50:51jackdanieluhm, OK. that's not what I've gathered from what they were requesting, but that will work too I'm sure. I'll write you details on email then. thanks
15:51:02beachThat is why letters of recommendation always go directly.
15:51:49beachNo problem. As soon as I have the information, I will send the recommendation.
