To whom it may concern
This letter is my strong recommendation for Monica Sofia De Ponte who worked as a personal assistant to me at Xerox (Document Excellence) as during 2016 during her tenure she has shown extreme diligence while performing secretarial work with a smile. In the capacity of a personal assistant Monica is nothing less than efficient. She introduced and implemented a new filing system & the organizing of my day to day calendar setting up scheduled meetings making sure that presentation documents were prepared and ready for clients scheduled for the day.
This all increasing the efficiency and productivity for the business she is punctual, organized and able to display great attention to detail. Her ability to learn quickly, and achieve any goal placed before her has added tremendous value to me personally and to the company as a whole. Monica continues to work at Xerox (document Excellence) where she has since been promoted to service controller running a team of technicians under her being able to single handedly run an entire department on her own. Monica was moved into this department as this was a new area the business moved into and it required an individual with these strong characteristics, being able to assist clients with the servicing, parts & toners for the machines. In so many ways Monica's employment at document excellence has brought profit to the company. She welcomes leadership opportunities and is completely focused on meeting deadlines offering overall customer satisfaction.
I further more wish her best wishes in her future endeavors and recommend her fully for similar position in any company she desires to work for. I am positive that she will be an asset to any organization.
If you would like any further information about Monica please feel free to contact me on the numbers below.
Yours sincerely,
Matthew Pereira
