To Whom It May Concern
I have known [First M. Last Name] professionally
since June 1988. At that time, he was a Wang
Computer Operator. I had just been hired as a Senior Technical Analyst as a part
of Aviation
Sales' efforts to convert some of its software packages from Wang to a newly
acquired IBM 3090
mainframe.
In September of 1988, [First Name] was transferred
to Technical Support. As the Senior member
of the team, I have worked very closely with him and have seen the many
technological advances
he has made.
[First Name] has become thoroughly familiar with
JCL. He has learned Assembler Language and has
used it to write several programs and subroutines used in functions and
facilities written by him.
Some of his accomplishments include:
- The development of an ISPF based Problem Reporting System
- An Operation menu whose options allow operators to submit a
number of production jobs,
entering input parameters on-line.
- Installation of several software packages including Easytrieve
Plus and Wizard Mail.
- Continued support of the Wang computer, writing interface
software to help the transition
of data and programs from that system to the IBM.
[First Name] has gained a tremendous amount of
knowledge in the fifteen months since his transfer
to Technical Support to the writing of this letter. He has been a willing and
resourceful worker.
His contributions to the team have been many.
I sincerely recommend [First Name] as a hard
working, intelligent employee who would be an asset
to any organization of which he is a part.

Senior Technical Analyst
