Honored Professors :

It is a great pleasure to recommend Mr. Kong, Jung Ho in support of his application to your school. As a professor, I have had numerous opportunities to meet worthy young people. Knowing Mr.Kong well, I consider him as one of my best students.

As Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department, I have known Mr, Kong very well through teaching him for four years. He was a very bright and pleasant young man. I would like to point out that his academic achievement was steadily improving. He seemed to realize the importance of school work, as he was moving up to the higher grades. Thanks to his outstanding academic performance, he was awarded a tuition scholarship two times due to his excellent academic performance in 1999.

Furthermore, his courteous manner and friendly attitude enabled him to maintain good relationships with his classmates and our professors. His opinions always achieved appreciation of others. Thus, I would greatly appreciate it if you would give him your highest consideration for a graduate assistantship. As well, I am confident that he will bo one of the most attentive and ardent students during his graduate work at your university.

As for as I know, Mr. Kong, Jung Ho has high intelligence and persistence. He has a conviction for his future career. I am certain that he will work hard and will be successful in his undergraduate studies in your school.

I sincerely hope that you will give him a chance to acquire advanced knowledge under your guidance.

Very truly yours,

Hyung-Ja Kim
