Dear Tom:

This letter is to again express our satisfaction with our Director of Sales & Marketing search, and to confirm that we would be pleased to serve as a reference.

The search was conducted in a very professional and efficient manner and, all candidates interviewed possessed the experience and qualifications we had previously discussed.

As we worked through the several individuals we could have hired your energy and commitment remained strong. The individual we hired has now been with Painters Supply and Equipment Company several weeks and we continue to believe he will be very successful.

Please feel free to use this letter as a reference and do not hesitate to provide my phone number to potential clients.

Sincerely,

PAINTERS SUPPLY AND
EQUIPMENT COMPANY
