Dear Tony,
I've written this recommendation of your work to share with potential and future employers.
Details of the Recommendation: "Tony Curtis is one of those fortunate few individuals who is "born to sell". My relationship with Tony has lasted for several years and he has always come through as a professional when dealing with customers and clients. His willingness to overcome obstacles and always deliver a quality product was only outshined by his ability to develop very close and mutually beneficial working relationships with all of his customers and made supplying his product easy and effortless.
