Proof "Letter of Recommendation", por favor.

Question

My homework assignment is to write a letter of recommendation in spanish. I started with writing it in English then translating it. This is the 1st time I have not used the help of the machine translator so be patient. Por supuesto, I did have to look up some new vocabulary.

                      **Carta de Recomendación**

CEDINOR, S.A. de C.V. August 31, 2010
Ant. Camino a Villa de Garcia #96
Col. Industrial, Mexico

Atención director de personal:

Sr. Garcia asistió mi advanzado clase de espanól por dos semestres y recibió una muy nota grande. Es ahora listo a conversar con las públicas en ambos inglés y espanól. Es muy responsible, un trabajador, y honrado. Yo recomendaría Sr. Gomez por el cargo de vendedor viajante o algo cargo necesitando el talento bilingue de Sr. Gomez.

atentamente,

Profesor A. Sanchez

Gracias

Answer 1

foxluv:

Talk about stepping in it and coming out smelling like roses...apparently you did not know this usage of pública either. You should play the lottery.

pública

pública [poo’-ble-cah]

noun

1. In universities, a lecture before the examination for the degree of licentiate. (f)

Answer 2

dates in Spanish are in the format of day/month/year. el treinta y uno de agosto, 2010 (dos mil diez). (31.8.2010)

El Sr. Garcia ... (when you are not directly addressing the person by name use a definite article)

español

estar listo=to be ready ser listo=to be clever

recibió una nota (muy) buena

recomendaría al Sr. Gomez (personal "a" and that definite article again)

bilengüe (Alt 0252) dieresis

del Sr. Gomez (the definite article again)

Wait for a native because I think that you have some capitalization errors.

Answer 3

I think I would use the verb "sacar", or "obtener" instead of "recibir", regarding the grade.
