Dear James,

 

I am Professor Kishore from the Department of Computer Science - Jai Hind College - Chennai. I would like to

use this letter to recommend one of my students Ms. Ambika Sharma for a place on the MS in Computer

Science programme offered at Ball State University.

 

Ambika completed her BSc Computer Science course with an excellent overall score of 91%. As part of her

project in her final semester of study she worked along with two of her classmates on building a role-play game

devised for the Android platform. The game is called ‘Muka’ and is an extremely popular and addictive game

with attractive graphics.

 

Ambika is soft-spoken, hard-working and multi-talented; she is a trained classical dancer and has won many

prizes for her dance performances in numerous inter-collegiate youth-festivals. Ambika wishes to complete her

MS in Computer Science and plans to start a company that will focus on developing multi-platform compatible

mobile and computer applications.  

 

I wish Ambika all the very best in her academic pursuit and hope that she will get a chance to study the MS in

Computer Science programme at Ball State University.

 

Thanking you.

 

Sincerely,

Kishore Kumar
