Dear Mr. Barron,

Gary G. Edwards had worked as an accounts assistant from January 15 2010 to September 31 2011. During his work tenure he has performed his duties exceptionally well.  He was highly appreciated by his co workers as well.

I commend his attention to detail and his ability to learn things fast made him a successful accountant.  He stays calm under pressure and especially good at the meeting the deadlines of the project. Moreover his accuracy standards are really high.

You are really fortunate to have Gary as an employee.  We wish her continued success in all her future endeavors.
