To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is my personal recommendation for Chris Miller. I am Steve Shamatta, the owner of The Red Door Tavern in Buckhead, and Chris’ Manager for several years.

During his time at Red Door, Chris has been one of the hardest working employees I have ever had. He would tackle any project with dedication and a smile. While at Red Door, Chris has handled many responsibilities from barback to bartender. I even feel confident trusting him with the responsibility of managing the money at the end of the night.

I highly recommend Chris for employment. He is a team player and would make a great asset to any organization.

Sincerely,

Steve Shamatta

Owner of the Red Door Tavern
