recommendation

After I had delayed sending in my application for a year, I decided to wait a few more days so my supervisor would come back from his vacation and could possibly write me a recommendation. Little did I know that ... look at this:

"... has an excellent character. She is hard working, pleasant and reliable. Undergraduate students like her as a teaching assistant and she is popular with everyone in the School of Engineering Science .... would be a real asset to Canada if she immigrates. Her application has my strongest support."

And that was only part of the letter. With his signature - he is a well known person - under that letter, I think I'm in for a treat!
