Award-Body Letter — Criterion 1 Template
A letter from the organization that gave you (or your company) an award, explaining the award's prestige, the selection process, and how selective it is. Use it to give context a certificate alone can't.
This is a scaffold, not a fill-in-the-blanks form. Rewrite it in the signer’s own voice and structure — USCIS discounts letters that share wording or layout. Keep the specifics (metrics, named examples); change everything else.
