If I have just one copy of a letter of recommendation, is it okay to make photocopies? -

Someone wrote me a letter of recommendation and they addressed it to the specific place I was applying, while in the letter writing the name of the company I m wanting to work for. Is it okay to write the same thing word for word, leaving out the name so I can use it to apply for different companies? And just copy the signature w/ a photocopy machine?

If I were interviewing someone who gave me a letter with a photocopied signature, I d be very wary. Why don t you ask this person to write you a general letter not addressed to anyone specific?
