From: ac8ca8@r.postjobfree.com [mailto:ac8ca8@r.postjobfree.com]
To: Kimbo, Kevin M.
Cc: Prell, Hansgeorg
Subject: Mr. Prell
Mr. Kimbo,
I think before I start, I would like to tell you that I asked Hans for your email address and others who had a supervisory role pertaining to Hans and his dept. And I believe that with some reluctance he gave it to me. I have also copied him on this email, for I can imagine that he might be a little concerned with what I am about to say.
Let me start by saying that I have been in electrical contracting for almost forty years. And in all that time I have been involved with many different electrical utilities from around the country. Recently I have had the opportunity to handle most of the electrical design for the new Goethals Bridge, including the permitting of electrical services for the project. It was at this time that I had the pleasure of dealing with your representative in helping me down a road that can usually be extremely unpleasant.
I would have to say that I never have had the experience in professionalism and customer service that I have had with Hans in helping me with the Goethals project. He has taken something, and I mean this with no disrespect, which a lot of my colleagues dread. And has made it the most seamless and the most pleasant of my dealings with any Utility. I make it appoint in my company to reward and recognize the employees that go above and beyond in their daily tasks. And it is at this time, from one supervisor to another, that you must know that I believe Mr. Prell is one of those employees. I know a lot of what we do is to put out fires on a daily basis, and at times you may wonder if anything ever goes right, I know I do. But its employees like Mr. Prell that really make the difference, and I think you should be aware of that.
I also hope that this email brings you comfort in knowing that there are people out there that do make a difference, and I believe you have one of the best. Congratulations. In closing I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and Happy New Year! And I also appreciate the time you took in reading my email today.

Recommendation for:
Hans Prell
Dear Sirs:
I highly recommend Hans Prell as a candidate for employment with your firm. I have known Hans for over seven years, from when he managed a large construction materials supply firm in northern New Jersey to when he took an interest in solar technologies. As an energy regulator, I am very aware of the
current need for talented individuals in the rapidly expanding sustainable energies
market.
Hans has excellent communications skills but also has the rare mix of a sales, engineering and
construction background. While a consulting engineer, Hans provided excellent guidance
to my firm regarding constructability, value engineering, material selection and overall
pricing specific to Solar generation .
Later, Hans assisted in the design and installation of a photovoltaic panel system
on a property that I own in Little Falls, New Jersey. As above, I was impressed with his
ability to explain the system in basic terms, navigate the complicated Federal and State
programs (grants and tax incentives), and design the electrical and structural support
components.
In short, I believe that Hans would be a tremendous asset for your company and
has my highest recommendation. If you have any further questions with regard to his
Letter of Recommendation for Hans Prell 2
background or qualifications, please do not hesitate to call me at 212-***-****.

Nicholas Agnoli, P.E.
