1. To Whom It May Concern:
I wish to provide this letter of recommendation, without hesitation, for Bethel Georges. Over the past
several years I have had the opportunity to work with Bethel. During that time, she has filled a number
of important positions and roles within our organization. I can honestly say that Bethel’s positive
outlook, desire to drive success in others and wealth of career experience make her a great asset.
Given Bethel’s significant experience in the realms of sales, marketing, training and organizational
development, she has made notable contributions to Columbia’s continued success and tremendous
recent growth, including building Columbia’s training department from the ground up, performing a
complete marketing and branding overhaul and assisting Columbia’s safety and human resources
departments with a variety of important process and documentation upgrades.
Best of all, Bethel performs her work with zeal. She is a focused individual who genuinely respects
her coworkers and does everything possible to ensure that the team has shared successes. In my
experience, this is one of the finest attributes that a professional can have. Anyone willing to focus on
creating, driving and co-developing success in the people and team around them will themselves be
successful - this has certainly been the case for Bethel and it is also, happily, the reason that I can
write this letter of recommendation on her behalf.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please note that, due to
extensive business travel, I am most readily available by email.
With Kind Regards,
