## Introduction
When applying for graduate/doctoral studies, if we are doing an internship or working full-time in industry, we usually need a letter of recommendation from our supervisor. In my experience, companies rarely provide formal letter templates for study abroad applications, and applicants or recommenders usually make them themselves.

Therefore, I open-sourced the project [ByteDance-Letter-Template](https://github.com/leungll/ByteDance-Letter-Template) which is suitable for most companies, taking **ByteDance** as an example. In addition, you can adapt it into a recommendation letter template for other companies, such as Tencent, Alibaba, Pinduoduo, Meituan, etc.
