My name is {Name}, and I am a {profession title}. I have known {Name} for {number} years, both as a {role} and as a {role}. I am aware that {Name} was stripped of {his/her} driver's license after a DUI incident on {date}. I spent a few days a week with {him/her} in the aftermath, where {he/she} faced the fact that {he/she} had a serious problem with drugs and alcohol. The dangerous nature of {his/her} behavior was a huge wakeup call to {Name}.
In the past {amount of time}, {Name} has successfully and voluntarily completed rehab at {Center} and is immersed in AA. {He/she} has a sponsor that {he/she} sees {frequency}. {He/she} also attends meetings {frequency}.

I have been very impressed with this new mentality, and I believe that {he/she} is considering reapplying for a driver's license with a very serious and sober mind.
Thank you for your time. Please feel free to contact me any time at {info}.
Sincerely,
{Sender}
