I have written several recommendations for girls I don't know personally. I meet them for coffee somewhere. I take a copy of the recommendation so I knew what info I need in order to complete the paperwork. I take the resume from the girl and write follow-up questions based on her resume. When I type the recommendation, I make sure that they knew I have 1) actually met the girl, 2) state I did not know the girl prior to this meeting and 3) I end up stating why I feel they should consider the girl or why they would be best dropping the young lady and their earliest convenience (met with a girl who had a low GPA but uncle was an administrator at the school so they let her in, one got a call during out meeting and then proceeded to use some of the finest choice words while I was interviewing her, etc..)
