To whom it may concern:

It is a genuine pleasure and honor for me to recommend Jay Vachhani. Jay

worked for me in the Estimating Department at E.J. Stewart Electric, Inc.

for 14 years.

During Jay's service with us we interacted frequently and I came to depend

on him. Jay was always punctual, easygoing, very goal oriented and a team

player. He was keenly devoted to his work, but being a real people person,

he was also enjoyable to be around. Jay demonstrated from early in his

tenure that he understood what business is all about. He was well

organized and thrived under adversity.

I would like to be very clear about why Jay is no longer with us. Jay is

available for new challenges only because of the recent economic conditions

affecting our industry.

In closing, let me say I have no hesitation in recommending Jay for

employment. I feel confident he would be an asset to your organization.

Sincerely,

Michael Messina

Senior Vice President
