Dear Headmaster,
We are writing to recommend David as our new monitor. We think he has many strong qualities for this position.
He is not only confident but also hard-working. For example, he is never afraid of making a speech in front of people and minds doing extra work for class. It is said that he is always willing to help us when we meet problems at school. So we all think (that) he is helpful.
We also think (that) he is so organized that he can organize many activities and use computer well. However, he never shows off. Therefore, he has won high praise from us and we all respect him.
We think he is the most suitable person to be our monitor. We hope (that) you agree with us.
Yours sincerely
Li Ming
