Dear Mr. Lira,
I had the pleasant opportunity to work closely with Mr. Richard for one year, during his two year employment at Influx Accounts Inc. Richard and I collaborated on several projects together. I am pleased to say that Richard is an excellent team player, a sincere and hardworking individual, and an ideal coworker.
Richard always did more work, than his share of the work on the projects he was assigned. He often took the initiative to handle difficult projects and picked up new tasks efficiently. I am glad to have work with him, as the management had always praised the assignments we worked together on. Richard had good ethical behavior at work.
I highly recommend Richard for whatever position he may decide to take up next. He is a talented person and good employee. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
Regards,
Jordan Slavens,
Accounts Manager,

Mr. Luke Smith,
HR Head,
Alpha Financial Firm,
4777 Valley Drive,
Eagleville, PA 19403.
Dear Mr. Smith,
John worked under my supervision as an account assistant from Feb. 01, 1999, until Feb. 29, 2004. His responsibilities included conducting ledger and journal entries, fact checking, and assisting in administrative jobs and other clerical duties. During the course of his employment, John proved himself to be an able employee. He is hard working and a brilliant accountant
I was quite impressed by John's ability to complete all work assignments on time. His accounts were always thorough and comprehensive, and his fact checking always accurate. We sometimes allow our account assistants to do some auditing, but John's talent prompted us to assign him some major client auditing. His bookkeeping is clear, concise, and evocative.
Overall, John is a very meticulous and able employee. I certainly believe he will be a wonderful auditor someday. I feel bad that he is not an employee of Influx Financial Services anymore. I strongly recommend John for any mid-level accounts position in financial consultancies.
Regards,
Jan Cole,
Senior Accountant,
Influx Financial Services.
