Dear xxx,

In the name of the XXXXX, I have the pleasure to endorse the application of YYYYY for membership in the International Land Coalition.

YYY is well-known for its contributions to more equitable land tenure systems, in particular to strengthen women’s land rights, and has collaborated with several ILC members on land policy development in numerous developing countries.

We think that YYY’s specialized knowledge and experience would complement the expertise of other ILC members and greatly strengthen the coalition’s capacity to fulfil its mission and highly recommend accepting its application for membership.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have additional questions.

Sincerely,

xxxxxxxxxx
