1. To Whom It May Concern:
I have worked very closely with Maria Farina during the past several years at both TD
and Sovereign Banks. Maria has excelled in all her roles and maintained one of the
highest levels of productivity during my tenure with both companies. Maria produces a
high volume of work while maintaining high standards for service, quality, operational
excellence and accuracy.
Maria possesses the ultimate "can do" attitude while taking on all tasks with a positive
energy and a smile. Her upbeat personality and engaging personal style enables her to
interact effectively with customers and the entire staff in our district. Maria is very well
organized and keeps track of all the details necessary to help manage our branch.
As my current Branch Operations Manager, she also has the added responsibilities of
managing a float pool of over 20 tellers for the entire district which consists of 22
branches. Maria takes on all of these responsibilities with great pride and has done a
tremendous job for the district. As you can imagine this takes a lot of planning and team
work between Maria and the other 22 Branch Managers to make this a smooth operation.
Maria takes initiative to go beyond the expected parameters of her job. All the intangibles
that lead to success in the workplace are in order with Maria. There will be no unpleasant
surprises as I am confident that she will fit in and be a valued addition to any team.
I volunteered to write this recommendation for Maria because I am very grateful for her
contributions to my branch and our district. I am very confident that she has the
intelligence, work ethic and communications skills to add value wherever she works.
As I am sad to lose an employee like Maria, I wish her all the best as I know she will be
successful wherever she goes. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions
about this outstanding young woman.
Sincerely,
Shajia Sultana-Samaroo
