To whom it may concern,
I’m writing this letter to personally recommend Virginia Taylor for employment with your firm.
Over the last year, Virginia was a member of my team, where led the material control function. In this role, Virginia demonstrated her process improvement and project management skills effectively and led the team through several difficult challenges. Based on this, I feel she would be an asset to your organization.
Unfortunately, due to a significant decrease in business and subsequent restructuring, Virginia’s position was eliminated.
Sincerely,
Tim Wideman
