  February,	
  2010	
  
To	
  Whom	
  It	
  May	
  Concern,	
  
I	
  am	
  writing	
  this	
  letter	
  on	
  behalf	
  of	
  William	
  “Bill”	
  Mounga.	
  Bill	
  says	
  he	
  is	
  seeking	
  a	
  
position	
  related	
  to	
  his	
  areas	
  of	
  expertise:	
  construction	
  and	
  project	
  management,	
  real	
  estate	
  and	
  
real	
  estate	
  development,	
  facilities	
  management,	
  and	
  business	
  development/deal	
  packaging	
  in	
  
the	
  area	
  of	
  federal	
  procurement	
  (construction-­‐related).	
  
I	
  have	
  known	
  Bill	
  since	
  1998.	
  He	
  was	
  married	
  to	
  my	
  daughter	
  for	
  many	
  years,	
  but	
  they	
  
have	
  been	
  divorced	
  since	
  2008.	
  	
  Besides	
  our	
  personal	
  relationship,	
  I	
  have	
  hired	
  Bill	
  to	
  work	
  for	
  
two	
  companies	
  that	
  I	
  was	
  CEO	
  of.	
  Both	
  companies	
  were	
  located	
  in	
  American	
  Samoa.	
  	
  
1.	
  I	
  hired	
  Bill	
  as	
  a	
  (construction)	
  Project	
  Manager	
  for	
  Blue	
  Sky	
  Communications	
  on	
  a	
  
short-­‐term	
  contract	
  while	
  I	
  was	
  CEO,	
  but	
  I	
  left	
  the	
  company	
  almost	
  immediately	
  thereafter.	
  
After	
  I	
  left,	
  the	
  new	
  management	
  chose	
  to	
  retain	
  Bill	
  upon	
  the	
  expiration	
  of	
  his	
  original	
  contract,	
  
vastly	
  expand	
  his	
  responsibilities,	
  and	
  raise	
  his	
  pay	
  accordingly.	
  	
  	
  
2.	
  I	
  also	
  hired	
  Bill	
  to	
  be	
  the	
  part-­‐time	
  Facilities	
  Manager	
  for	
  two	
  small	
  commercial	
  
buildings	
  I	
  owned.	
  One	
  building	
  was	
  a	
  production	
  facility	
  for	
  a	
  newspaper.	
  The	
  other	
  was	
  an	
  
office/retail/restaurant	
  mixed-­‐use	
  building.	
  	
  
Bill	
  has	
  proven	
  to	
  be	
  a	
  capable	
  project	
  manager	
  and	
  team	
  player	
  in	
  complex	
  situations,	
  
where	
  going	
  over-­‐and-­‐above	
  the	
  normal	
  requirements	
  of	
  a	
  job	
  is	
  necessary.	
  Bill	
  has	
  strong	
  inter-­‐
personal	
  skills	
  as	
  a	
  communicator	
  and	
  facilitator	
  and	
  problem	
  solver	
  and	
  
salesperson/representative.	
  Those	
  skills	
  are	
  complemented	
  by	
  strong	
  computer	
  and	
  writing	
  
skills,	
  knowledge	
  of	
  business	
  management,	
  as	
  well	
  as	
  personal	
  integrity.	
  Bill	
  has	
  extensive	
  
experience	
  in	
  the	
  business	
  world	
  beyond	
  project	
  management,	
  especially	
  in	
  real	
  estate,	
  business	
  
development,	
  and	
  business	
  administration	
  in	
  the	
  contracting	
  industry.	
  This	
  includes	
  involvement	
  
in	
  federal	
  procurement,	
  especially	
  related	
  to	
  programs	
  designed	
  to	
  encourage	
  involvement	
  of	
  
minority	
  and	
  disadvantaged	
  groups.	
  	
  
If	
  the	
  skill	
  set	
  mentioned	
  above	
  matches	
  your	
  company’s	
  needs,	
  I	
  would	
  endorse	
  Bill	
  as	
  
an	
  excellent	
  candidate.	
  
If	
  you	
  have	
  any	
  further	
  questions,	
  please	
  contact	
  me.	
  
	
  
Regards,
