To Whom It May Concern:
This is to recommend to you Mary Sias. Ms. Sias worked under my supervision as a Human
Resources Assistant in the Civilian Employment Division of the Houston Police Department from
March 1999 to June 2002. In this capacity, Ms. Sias was charged with filling positions that had high
turnover rates. Not only did Ms. Sias fill these positions in the most expedient manner possible, she
also took the initiative to hold mini job fairs in the community to get the word out and recruit
qualified candidates to fill our vacancies.
During her tenure with the Houston Police Department, Ms. Sias demonstrated excellent
organizational skills. She is a self-motivated, responsible, dedicated employee. Ms. Sias was always
willing to assist in any area in which she was needed. Further, she is dependable, and was absent or
late only when absolutely unavoidable. Her work was exemplary, and to attest to this tact, she
received three letters of commendation from other divisions stating such.
In 2002, the Civilian Employment Division was faced with significant downsizing. It was at this time
that we lost Ms. Sias to another division within the HPD. If what you need is a serious, dedicated
employee woo will work without close supervision while exhibiting initiative and creating innovative
means to achieve a task. Ms. Sias is the employee for you.
If you need additional information. Please call me at your convenience. I can be reached at
713.308.1333 from 8:00 a.m. until 14:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Sincerely

2. G. A. Fordjour, HR Supervisor
Human Resources Division
