6. Letter of Recommendation:
Jamie L. Jimkoski
March 21, 2013
To whom this may concern:
I am writing this letter of reference as a recommendation for Jamie Jimkoski.
My relationship with Jamie has been as an instructor at a university over the past 2 semesters. As an
instructor of Business Management at multiple universities, I am very confident of Jamie’s academic
abilities. Jamie’s drive for success in academic achievement has certainly been apparent in her attaining
an “A” average in my last and current semester’s management courses.
Based on my 30-plus year business career and interactions with Jamie, I would not be surprised of her
success in any business endeavor.
Whenever I consider referring someone, I always ask myself if I would consider admitting them on my
staff in any program or organization. In the case of Jamie, my answer would be a resounding “Yes!”
Please feel free to contact me in writing or by phone to discuss any issues of this reference.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Ketrow, Ph.D.
