Attn: John Suzukida

Dear John,

This is a letter of commendation for the services provided by Brandon Ebeling. Last night we successfully concluded negotiations for [name omitted] as our new [Title omitted] Manager.

[Name omitted] was our first choice from the local marketplace, worked for Powers, and rejected my initial offer. After pursuing other local candidates I called Brandon for his help.

Brandon supplied me with names of candidates around the country and also asked if there was anyone locally I might want to pursue. I told him of my experience with [ name omitted ] and he said that he would like to make contact with him. Through his skills, he was able to convince
[ name omitted ] to reconsider our offer, he spoon fed me with the right questions and answers and the end result was we have a new employee.

I suspect that most of us do not have an over abundance of skills in recruiting personnel. My ego does not prevent me from admitting this. He enlightened me on some of the intricacies of proper recruitment. We will use him again when appropriate.

We anticipate a significant improvement in our [department name omitted] performance. Thanks for your help.

Regards,

John Tudor
