Below is a good sample of a recommendation letter that I've written up for a person that was recommending me. Now before you ask why I typed it out for someone else, first thing first, I had the explicit permission of the person that will be recommending me to write up or in this case type up a recommendation letter. Second, the said person that was recommending me is a busy professional and asked me to help them out by doing it myself. That person will be reading it over thus rejecting or approving said letter. Hope this works out for some people. This is one of two templates that I used when applying for grad school.
