To Whom it may concern:
This is a letter of recommendation for RAED HAMDAN who has worked under my

Raed is a hard worker who invariably understands exactly what is expected

solution-oriented person who was frequently able to come up with new and
innovative approaches to the process. He functioned well as team leader
when required, and he also worked effectively as a team member under the
direction of others in the team.I would highly recommend anyone who is
