　　Dear Mr. Smith:

　　This is in response to your recent request for a letter of recommendation for Belinda Miller who worked for me up until two years ago.

　　Belinda Miller worked under my direct supervision at Johnson Technologies for a period of six years ending in October 2003. During that period, I had the great pleasure of seeing her blossom from a junior marketing trainee at the beginning, into a fully functioning Marketing Program Coordinator, in her final two years with the company. That was the last position she held before moving on to a better career opportunity elsewhere.

　　Ms. Miller is a hard-working self-starter who invariably understands exactly what a project is all about from the outset, and how to get it done quickly and effectively. During her two years in the Marketing Coordinator position, I can not remember an instance in which she missed a major deadline. She often brought projects in below budget, and a few were even completed ahead of schedule.

　　Ms. Miller is a resourceful, creative, and solution-oriented person who was frequently able to come up with new and innovative approaches to her assigned projects. She functioned well as a team leader when required, and she also worked effectively as a team member under the direction of other team leaders.

　　On the interpersonal side, Ms. Miller has superior written and verbal communication skills. She gets along extremely well with staff under her supervision, as well as colleagues at her own level. She is highly respected, as both a person and a professional, by colleagues, employees, suppliers, and customers alike.

　　Two years ago, when Ms. Miller announced her resignation to take up a new position with a large company, we were saddened to see her leave, although we wished her the greatest success in her new undertaking. Even now, two years after her departure, I can state that her presence, both as a person and as an exemplary employee, is still missed here.

　　In closing, as detailed above, based on my experience working with her, I can unreservedly recommend Belinda Miller to you for any intermediate or senior marketing position. If you would like further elaborate, please feel free to call me at (416) 765-4497.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Robert Christenson

　　Director, Marketing and Sales
