+# Recommendation given
+
+Hi [NAME],  
+
+I just wanted to let you know that I’ve written a recommendation for you based on our time working together at [company/project]. It highlights some of the amazing contributions you made, like [specific example or key skill].
+
+If there’s anything you’d like me to tweak or if you think something else should be included, just let me know—I’d be happy to adjust it to better reflect your strengths.
+
+Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
+
+Ad Astra,
+Antonio
