22. To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is my personal recommendation for Anwar Sadat. Until just recently, I have
been Anwar’s immediate supervisor for several years. I found him to be consistently
pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and a smile.
Besides being a joy to work with, Anwar is a take-charge person who is able to present
creative ideas and communicate the benefits. He has successfully developed several
marketing plans for our company that have resulted in increased revenue. During his
tenure, we saw an increase in profits that exceeded one million dollars. The new
revenue was a direct result of the plans implemented by Anwar.
Though he was an asset to our marketing efforts, Anwar was also extraordinarily
helpful in other areas of the company. In addition to writing effective training modules
for sales representatives, Anwar assumed a leadership role in sales meetings, inspiring
and motivating other employees.
I highly recommend Anwar for employment. He is a team player and would make a
great asset to any organization.
Sincerely,
Sharon
