Dear People Close to Us competition judges,

I would like to nominate my friend Sarah for this competition. Sarah is a kind, compassionate, and loyal friend who always goes out of her way to help others. She is incredibly intelligent and hardworking, always striving to do her best in school and in her extracurricular activities. Sarah has a great sense of humor and is always there to make me laugh when I'm feeling down. She is a true friend who I know I can always count on. I am grateful to have her in my life and believe she deserves to be recognized for the amazing person she is.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
