Letter of thanks and recommendation
Dear Mr. Vidal Espinosa:
As one of the former owners of Harvey Milk’s American Diner San Diego, LLC, I would like to
say thank you for the outstanding and professional work you have done to help us during the
most difficult times I have ever experienced in my business life.
When we initially spoke on the phone, you asked me to give you a brief rundown of our situation
and pending collapse of our business, and with in 3 hours you agreed to meet with our entire
board to discuss creating a proposal for a way forward or an exit strategy.
Our board was skeptical that you would be able to recreate a rough draft of our financial
statements using what you called “Forensic Accounting” in only 48 hours.
Once the agreement to have you move forward was motioned and passed by the board, you
went to work immediately and over the next two days you were able to put together a estimated
financial outlook of our company and create a proposal for either moving forward or beginning
our exit strategy. We met again with the board of directors and you made a believer out of
everyone that you knew what you were talking about and how to do it.
The following week you also went over and above by helping us to create a final payroll for our
staff members, including a pay stub and waiver release of liability to the company from
employees. You also were on hand to help facilitate with the disbursement of payroll and met
with each staff member to explain how we were not only paying them in cash for their final work
days but explain the bonus we offered to all employees for their patience in getting paid.
I, can’t even imagine how we could have done all of this without your help and professional
council. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I would you to to anyone who is considering your company as a sound and well informed
organization that knows how to help people in desperate situations and offer them workable
plans for moving forward. You truly are an amazing man and I trust you with LIFE!
Sincerely,
Frank Lechner
Former Owner of Harvey Milk’s American Diner, San Diego LLC
