I
have been asked to write this letter of reference because our company will no
longer be operating its printing plant that has served Fairmont Litho Arts Inc.
for more than a decade.
Fairmont
Litho Arts has been one of our top customers for the past 12 years.
Accordingly, I have no hesitation in recommending them as a company with which
to do business.
In
addition to doing business with his company for many years, I have known the
president and founder of Litho Arts, Glenn Ralston, for over 25 years. We were
classmates and teammates at McGill University in the late 1970s. Knowing him
for so long I am quite comfortable in vouching for him as a great individual as
well as a concerned and active citizen in this community.
As
far as a company to do business with, Fairmont Litho Arts Inc. is one of the
best that we have ever dealt with. Its practice has always been to pay our
printing invoices within the 30-day time limit. We did significant amounts of
business, especially during the past 5 years, and I cannot recall a
late-payment situation involving that company. Billing disputes were rare, and
those only required some minor additional documentation for clarification and
resolution.
Fairmont
was one of the best companies that I have ever dealt with from a change-order
and work scheduling perspective. We maintained close communication with the
company's production people and they always kept us apprised of their upcoming
workload. Thus, scheduling jobs on our presses was never a problem. In
addition, Fairmont's graphics people always provided us with high quality
finished artwork, and it was unusual for additional changes to be made after
the plates had been produced.
Based
on our experience, any printing company should be very pleased to be the one
that Fairmont Litho Arts selects to do business with once we have closed our
doors.
As
Chairperson of the Corporate Conscience Campaign - Helping the Homeless in New
York, I am writing this to thank you personally for your company's support in
last month's fund-raising effort.
As
I indicated when we spoke on the phone two weeks ago, the campaign was considered
a resounding success, raising a total of $1.65 million to-date, significantly
exceeding our target of $1 million. Some donations are still trickling in, so
we could end up close to a total of $2 million.
BioDynamics
was an influential leader throughout the entire three-month campaign. In fact,
we couldn't have succeeded without the generous support of your company, both
financially, and through your organizational and administrative assistance.
Your Team Leader, Kathryn Gomez was particularly impressive, going above and
beyond what we could have expected of someone performing as a volunteer while
continuing on with her day-to-day duties. Please convey my special thanks to
Kathryn.
I
would also ask you to convey my sincere thanks and congratulations to all of
those other people in your company who contributed in any way to the Helping
the Homeless Campaign. Please tell them that the sum of their contributions
resulted in a major success that they should all be proud of taking part in.
I
believe that the 27 companies that participated in this effort have set a new
standard for social responsibility in this community, and have set a powerful
example that will inspire other companies and organizations to do the same.
I
look forward to seeing you at the Mayor's special thank you reception next
month.
It was a pleasure meeting
you briefly at last week's Board of Trade event. It's amazing how small the
world does seem sometimes, considering that we both earned our undergraduate
degrees at U. of Kansas, even overlapping for one year! I suppose we were destined
to eventually meet face-to-face.
I was fascinated by your
synopsis of the history of Riviera Industries over the past, almost
half-century. Clearly, your company has a rich corporate heritage and
tradition. At the same time, the company has been blessed with a continuum of
leaders of foresight and imagination who had the courage to change course at
key points along the way so that the company could remain competitive and
continue to lead its industry.
As I was mentioning to you,
Final Edition Publications is a specialty publisher that focuses on corporate
publications including annual reports, corporate profiles and corporate
histories. We have been in business for over 15 years and during that time have
grown from a two-person start-up, to a serious corporate publisher with over
100 employees. We have been contracted by over a dozen Fortune 500 companies to
produce both annual and special occasion publications on their behalf.
After our chat at last
week's meeting, it occurred to me that with Riviera approaching its 50th
anniversary, it would be the perfect occasion to produce a Corporate History to
celebrate your company's first half-century. It so happens, that these are
exactly the types of corporate publications that we specialize in here at Final
Edition. In fact, we have produced corporate histories for dozens of companies.
With Riviera's 50th just
around the corner, I'm sure that you have been thinking about ways to make that
anniversary a special one. Accordingly, I would very much like to meet with you
and show you some of the corporate work we have done, and brief you further on
our services. I have a strong feeling that what we offer at Final Edition might
be just the kind of thing you've been looking for to celebrate Riviera's 50th.
Please feel free to call me
at 745-2398 so that we can discuss this further. If I don't hear from you by
the end of next week I will follow up with you and see if we can set up a
meeting at your convenience.
Your
20-year-old age, the transition point of your life, determine the direction of
a career. The reason for that what kind of risks do you take in these ages, who
you are friends with, and your role
models show the most realistic indicators of how you will become a person in
your 30s.
Achieve
success from your 20's by focusing on constantly improving yourself instead of
thinking "will I be a manager someday?" Or "will I make my own
business?"
Be a
visionary person
People who do not know where they want to go are often make no progress!
First you need to set yourself a goal.Do not hesitate
to imagine abundantly while doing this; Animate the way of life you desire with
all the details in your mind and write your goals in a notebook.So you can be
more conscious about seeing and catching opportunities that are not the same.
Cherylyn Harley LeBon, a
lawyer and executive coach who tells you that you need to plan your life for
years to be successful that if you decide where you want to be in your 30s and
40s, you can steer towards your career more easily.
For example, if you want to build your own business someday, you must
make sure that you develop your entrepreneurial skills and build a solid
network.LeBon says that visualizing
in your mind that where you are doing business in the future and how you do
business, will make your 20s age more productive and enjoyable.
"Begin"
before you are ready
Do not try to be the best in your 20s!In a
competitive environment, this effort will create pressure on you.Because of your
perfectionist approach, you may have to postpone the new steps that you need to
take to reach your goals. Instead of focusing on being perfect, do your work to
increase your creativity.
What specialties and skills
did you enjoy having?
Once you have created a list, start working on improving yourself.You must take
some risks, especially with extra responsibility and have to create the skills
to take part in the professions and tasks in the future.So start before
you feel "ready". As an old proverb says: The dog will not learn to
swim as long as it does not fall in the water!
Find
yourself a role model
Do not want it all! Of course, having multiple interests is a great
feature. Only making concrete choices will take you to where you want to be instead
of being blown away with every wind.
According to career coach and
author Penelope Trunk, the simplest
method to see who you want to be at the age of 35 that you have to set
reachable goals by idealizing.
Well, what does this 35-year-old character owe to its success?What sacrifices
did he make in his personal life for his career?If you are not
satisfied with the answers, continue to create new role models by creating
another 35-year-old script.
Learn to
save Money
After graduating from college/university, you will probably not be able
to get a salary in your first or second job that you think you deserve it.It's very close
to seeing a lot of zero figures in your bank account, but first you have to
budget in a rational way.
Saving money allows you to
invest to your future and give you the financial freedom and also prevents you
from a job you do not want to work. Do not feel
restricted when you save Money. Think allocated every dollar will be as a gift
to yourself in the future by reaching the dreams.
Select
friends well
Have you ever recognized that you started to look like each other with
your close friends? According to a research at the California and Yale
University, the genes of two friends show even more similarity than two
strangers!
For this reason, it is much more important than you think to choose a
friend who will help you with all difficulties and to find the best way. Amy
Palmer, TV announcer and CEO of PowerwomenTV, said, "I was getting the most
important lessons in my 20s by examining my friends.”
Do not forget that many of
your 20-year-old friendships will continue to effect you in all of your life.
Be aware
you’re more than you are
When meeting new people, one of the first questions asked is usually
"What are you doing?"So, for others, your business is
the success you have achieved in life, and your task is to put your value is
equal to "how much you earned".Trying to make a lot of money in
the shortest possible time is also an option, but do not ignore that you will
burn yourself when you are on fire without regard to any career progression.You have much
more than a payroll or long job description.
You can create your own space
of happiness not only in your work but also in life if you are moving with sure
steps.
