To whom it may concern:

I have known William Fontes for the last 3 years now. He was a student in my Auto Shop class, and it is my
pleasure to recommend William to you as an outstanding candidate for employment. Over the past couple of years
I’ve seen William demonstrate some great qualities that I feel would make him a great asset to any business.

William is very friendly and outgoing, which makes him very easy to get along with. He has a great work ethic
which makes him successful in many aspects of his life. You can count on William , he is trustworthy, reliable, and
is seldom absent and never late. He is always ready to learn, learns quickly, and doesn’t back down from a
challenge. He has natural mechanical abilities and works very well with his hands. In my shops he was always ready
to help any of my other students with questions or problems they had.

Some of the qualities that I feel really make him stand out, are the kinds that are learned at a very early age, or they
are just innate in someone’s personality. William is honest and trustworthy, he has integrity, and he cares about
what he is doing and this really shows in his work. Something that I really appreciate about William is that, when
he sees something that needs to be done, he does it without having to be asked to do it. These days, that is a rare
thing to see in most people his age.

I have enjoyed working with William , and I am sure that he is going to be successful in whatever he sets out to do
in life. So it is my great honor to recommend William Fontes to you as an outstanding person, who is very deserving
of any scholarships, awards, or jobs that he may be considered for.

Sincerely,

Gary Maxwell
