RE: Nomination of [Nominee Name] for [Award/Position Name]
Dear [Selection Committee/Recipient Name],
I am pleased to nominate [Nominee Name] for [Award/Position Name].

[Specific accomplishments and qualities relevant to the award/position — concrete examples, not general praise.]
Impact

I believe [Nominee Name] is an excellent candidate for this recognition, and I'm happy to provide any additional information.

*A nomination built on 2-3 specific, detailed examples is far more persuasive to a selection committee than a long list of general positive traits.*

FAQ
Is this nomination letter template really free?
Yes. Like every template in docstoc's library, this nomination letter is free to use, with no account or signup needed to view, edit, or download it.
What does this nomination letter cover?
This business template includes Why [Nominee Name] Deserves This, Impact, Supporting Details. Fill in the [bracketed] placeholders, edit any clause online, then download a PDF — the docstoc.io footer stays on every export.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is a general-purpose starting structure, not advice for your specific situation. Business agreements can hinge on details — state of formation, industry-specific regulation, how a dispute would actually play out — that a template can't account for. Have a business attorney review anything that involves real money or real risk before you rely on it.
Can I edit the wording?
Yes — edit directly on the page, adjust any section or clause, and re-fill the 6 placeholder fields to match your situation before downloading a PDF. It's a starting structure, not a rigid script.
