Subject: Recommendation for Arnaud Agman
To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to provide a letter of recommendation for Arnaud Agman. I called upon Arnaud to
provide translation services on very quick notice for a project offshore Morocco. The document
requiring translation was a complex, scientific-based summary of available information for the
marine environment offshore Morocco. It contained extensive reference material and summary
text covering all aspects of the marine environment, including physical, chemical, biological, and
socioeconomic/sociocultural resource areas. Arnaud showed a high level of proficiency in
dealing with these multiple subject topics.
Arnaud was exceptionally responsive to our needs. He met every expectation we had in a very
compressed timeframe. I found his work to very professional, with a clean and high quality
work product. To meet our compressed schedule, Arnaud exhibited a very organized work plan.
He was diligent in his efforts, and was committed to meeting our deadlines. Most importantly,
his translation product was very well received by our client.
His attention to quality control and the nature of his clarifying questions indicated a strong
familiarity with international cultures and an excellent comfort level with West and North
African cultures. I would strongly recommend Arnaud for any project that requires such
qualifications that he clearly demonstrated during the course of our work.
Sincerely,
