DeeD Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hey, I have asked for LORs from 2 former professors and my former project lead. But my project lead, having now left the organisation, cannot give me the letter on the company letter head. Is that okay ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Do you really have any choice? As long as the letter can explain the situation, I think you're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loric Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Very few places use "official letterhead" anymore. That was actual gold embossed, calligraphy, and dye-sub pieces of paper that they'd stick into a printer and print the letter onto. That rarely happens anymore and an "official letterhead" from anywhere might legitimately be a simple default template from a word processing application. It's an antiquated hurdle to keep people from blatantly making their own letters up. I wouldn't worry about it in the least.

ratlab Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Nearly every professor I know uses official letterhead for their letters (in multiple fields). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loric Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Nearly every professor I know uses official letterhead for their letters (in multiple fields). Is it real letterhead..? Or something using a template froma wordprocessor..? Did they order the paper from a printer, or did they print it on the paper themselves..? I'm not trying to just be snarky, I honestly havent seen official real letterhead in years and printing/paper is one of my hobbies.

hj2012 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 My professors used official letterhead, too. It was just a Word doc template though (as far as I could tell), though the letter was converted to PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratlab Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I was under the impression that the OP is talking about having a letter on a plain document background versus the official letterhead of the university? (Be that PDF version or actual paper). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
