To Whom It May Concern:

Due to unforeseen business circumstances, the Hyundai Ideal Electric Company recently

reduced its manufacturing workforce by 10%. Among the many fine employees who lost

their positions with us was Scott Ekleberry. He had been hired as a Production Supervisor

without a specific Department or Shift assignment. His role was to learn the other

departments operations sufficient to be able to fill in for vacation replacement and to

perform strategic assignments and continuous improvement projects as assigned and as

his capabilities were developed.

Unfortunately, our volumes have fluctuated to the point where the type of position that Scott

was hired for could no longer be sustained. Scott is well educated and applies himself

diligently to his duties. I would recommend him for any

position for which he fits your profile. If you have any

questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Ames

Human Resources Manager
