Letter declining to be a job reference

James Coughlin
Hometown TN

Dear James

I was pleased to hear from you again. It has been awhile. I wish you well in your search for future employment.

Unfortunately, based upon how your employment here ended in a less than favorable status, I will have to decline your request to be a job reference for future work. While I cannot be a reference, I am sure you can find others who would be more than willing to provide this service to you.

Sincerely
Bob Wright
