com February 12, 2014 Dear Sir or Madam: It is my pleasure to recommend Chris Spachman as a candidate for a position in your company. I have known Chris for approximately 4 years in my position as Kitchen Manager at LaSenorita Restaurant. Chris has worked for me in various locations throughout the kitchen, and based on his work ethic and positive attitude, I consider him one of the best employees on my staff. Chris is a hard-working and energetic person, and I have no doubt that he will experience great success in his future career. In my 16 years as a manager, I have rarely seen the work ethic from a college student that Chris has shown, working 2 jobs, an internship, a full-time class load, and still finds time to organize community events such as the 5K color run. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with someone who has his patience, positivity, eagerness and abilities. Based on his performance and character in our company, I feel Chris would be an asset to any employer and I recommend him for any endeavor he chooses to pursue. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions about him. Sincerely,

Michael Pickle
