A friend of mine is applying for citizenship and she has asked me to write some kind of a letter of recommendation. The only problem is that I don't know anything about what it should say, who it should be written to, if it should be notorized, what kind of information about myself it needs to have, etc. I have been unable to find anything online helping me such as a sample letter or guidelines. If anybody has any personal experience or knowledge on this subject, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

is this a new requirement? I don't remember there was any requirement for letter of recommendation when I did it 4 years ago.

That is mislabeled, I've already read all of that and its not a recommendation letter. Its an application to restore rights in Iowa after being convicted of a felony.

Did you read any of the other recommendation letters on that site? Rec letters are all the same. Just swap out "job" "position" "graduate school" etc for citizenship.
