To Whom it May Concern:
It is my distinct pleasure to recommend to you my esteemed business colleague and friend, Dawn
Douglass. In my capacity as Vice President of Finance for IMH Financial Corporation (“IMH"), I have
worked very closely with Dawn for nearly eight years.
As Assistant Vice President – Financial Operations for IMH in Scottsdale, Arizona, Dawn exhibited
outstanding common sense, communication skills and an impeccable work ethic during her tenure. She is
a no-nonsense professional with an uncanny ability to get to the heart of a matter, and her skills in
financial modeling are second to none. Her efforts directly contributed to our monthly financial reporting
and timely filings of annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
I could continue on with glowing accounts of Dawn’s skillset, but will instead simply say that I really do
think the world of her and respect her greatly. I was personally very saddened by Dawn’s departure but
certainly wish her the best in her endeavors.
I would without any reservation recommend Dawn to any prospective employer. She would be a
tremendous asset in any company.
Feel free to contact me with any questions at 480-840-8322.
Sincerely,
Samuel J. Montes
Vice President-Finance
