Consequences of Non-genuine Recommendation Letter
Maybe
it is their travel agents ill-advising them or they do this on their own terms,
but seeing that some travel aspirants go ahead forging some academic documents
makes me feel like they think the people requesting for such document don’t think
some people may want to play smart with them and they have laid down systems to
help them figure out those people trying to play smart. Because if not so, how
would somebody send a forged recommendation letter to a school abroad without
thinking the school would find out somehow?
A
school considering you for a graduate admission asks you to provide a referee
from your first degree school, you went ahead putting just any staff from your
school or from another school, your application is most definitely getting rejected!
Why can’t you find a lecturer who taught you before? Most preferably your
project supervisor or another lecturer from your department. If you can’t get
any of these or in the case when you need multiple referees and you have
already gotten some from your department, then you can use someone from outside of your department
who you can create the impression they have tutored you before or you have
worked with them academically.
The
funniest set of travel aspirants are the ones who collect reference letter from
a lecturer and go ahead editing it for multiple use without the consent of the
lecturer whose name and contacts are on the letter, like how could you not know
the school you are sending the letter to would still contact the lecturer to
ask for verification? I understand the process of getting a lecturer to
recommend you is a very frustrating one as our Nigerian lecturers tend to act
like gods when they are needed for these things, but it’s better for you to
give it all you could and get the genuine recommendation that you need than
getting a weak or fake one that would end up running all the efforts you have
made on your international admission.
