Yes--a draft of the recommendation. Some use 99% of it others cut out a line or two and add their own opening/closing. Hard part is keeping them different enough so that the same airline doesn't get the same recommend over and over again. To do this I pull out my logbook and use stories from when I flew with that individual.
