Hand written letter of character

[Dannyr619]

Hey everybody.

Ok so I asked 5 people to write CCW letters for me. The three best candidates have given me their letters. The two "backups" have not. Two of the three letters I got are exceptionally written and professionally typed up. The third one is good, except it is hand written on non lined paper.

Do you think this would hinder my application in any way? Or are these letters more of a formality?

Thoughts?

Anyone who takes the time to hand-write a letter in this canned word processing age will get attention. If the letter is a solid positive one, I would place it on the top.

And as long as it looks reasonably well written - not scrawled and illegible.

I know it would get my attention.

The officer who interviews you is more concerned with what's written on that paper than the what the paper itself is made of.

I turned in one hand written letter of recommendation with my application, and it didn't draw even the slightest comment.

I agree with the others, if the person took the time to hand write a letter, and it is clear and well written, that should be worth more than a letter printed off on a word processing program.

+1, although I myself would produce a "canned" one b/c:

• my handwriting is awful
• I really need a spell checker
