Hi georgine,
It is hard to find free sample letters anymore! Seems most sites are
selling them now. I did find several sites with sample letters.
Obviously, I found no letters worded exactly to your needs. The
samples I have included will need to be customized with your own words
and warmth!
You might consider a friendly style letter, introducing yourself in the content!

WritingHelp has a sample introductory letter. Its intended for
business, but you could ?friendly? it up! For example, you could make
the content warmer, and close it ?Fondly, georgine? (no quotation
marks, of course!) http://www.writinghelp-central.com/introduction-letter.html
You could add a touch of humor, and modify this sample letter of recommendation!

My local library has several books on letter writing, with samples.
I'm sure you can find the same book, or others at your local library.
One of them is: Everyday Letters for Busy People" Hundreds of letters

Hope this helps you compose your letter, and congratulations on being
