Document background
The Letter of Referral is a crucial document in Hong Kong's professional landscape, used to facilitate introductions and recommendations across various sectors. This document type is particularly important in a business culture that values formal introductions and professional endorsements. When drafting a Letter of Referral, consideration must be given to Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and any sector-specific regulations. The document typically includes the referrer's professional credentials, their relationship with the referred party, specific accomplishments or qualifications, and the purpose of the referral. It can be used for employment applications, academic admissions, professional services, or medical referrals, among other purposes. The format and content should align with Hong Kong's business practices while maintaining professional standards and confidentiality requirements.
