Dear Sir or Madam,
I have known {Applicant 1} and {Applicant 2} for the last {amount of time}. During that time I have known them separately and as a couple, and they are stable, loving and patient people who will make truly excellent parents. They have been my {neighbors/fellow congregants/employees/friends} for {amount of time} and I have seen them in many settings and social interactions.
{Applicants} have always been great with children. They have {number} nieces and nephews between the ages of {age} and {age} whom they frequently care for during the day or on weekends. I have witnessed them on numerous occasions going out of their way to be safe, disciplined and fun with kids. They always make sure that all medications and potentially harmful substances are locked securely away, that car seats are properly secure and that the children eat healthy meals.
I cannot imagine a better home for a child than with these two loving people. They are already parents in their hearts and I whole-heartedly recommend them.
Thank you,
{Sender}
