I've very impressed with Dennis Tu's work ethics. I worked with Dennis
early on the project when he was in logistics and I knew he was good
at his Logistics job but I wanted to let you know that he has only
been on the project a few weeks and I am very impressed with his work.
He gets right on the orders with emails out to suppliers before I can
put the email in my files, in other words he does not mess around and
get the job done. I bombarded his with new Field PO's and he did not
miss a beat. He does his work with no complaints and very efficient. I

that Dennis is a valuable and reliable asset to the PV Project/ Fluor.
