• Dear Mr. Strong,
•
•
• I am eternally grateful for you taking time out of your busy schedule to come down and interview
graduates of the Cypress Mandela Training Center. You represent the epitome of what a community
representative should look like as a professional. Your commitment to hiring an entry level Oakland
resident will make a significant difference in the community by fighting poverty and crime
simultaneously.

dedication to make life changes with Oakland residents for a better workforce oftomorrow. Once again,
'thank you.
