Dear Hiring Manager,
I am written this letter as a personal reference for Lorie Favors. I
managed Lorie from October 2008 when I began work with Envision Management
Group through the present. During this time Lorie was responsible for a
wide array of administrative and support tasks including financial
reconciliation, handling of payment and mitigating legal exposure through
the careful review and application of recent regulations affecting our
industry. Lorie demonstrates excellent communication and organizational
skills while displaying a strong understanding of the core operations of
the business. She is able to work independently with little direction and
is a dedicated team player. Lorie has consistently exceeded my standards
for her position while demonstrating a wiliness to learn and is very
accepting of change. Lorie would be an outstanding asset for your
organization and has my recommendation. If you have any further questions
with regards to her qualification, please do not hesitate to contact me
via phone or e-mail.
With Best Regards,
Adam D. Wolcott
