Dear Mr. Smith:

I am writing as a reference for Ms. Linda Gonzalez, who has applied for a position with your company. I have known Linda for four years, during which time I have been very impressed with her performance as a supervisor with Arthur James & Associates.

Our company orders thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from Arthur James & Associates every month and Linda has made sure that her department gives every order the same careful treatment.

Linda has also been part of a program sponsored by West-Tech America, on Total Quality Management. This group meets twice a month to discuss quality management issues and Linda has made some excellent contributions to the group.

Any company that hires Linda Gonzalez is getting a gem – she’s intelligent, motivated, and caring.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about her background or her qualifications.

Yours,

Al Mikonos
