REFERENCE - KRISSY DAVISThis letter serves to confirm that I have known Kristine Davis for a period of approximately 15 years. During this time Krissy has been a very reliable, organised and punctual person who has raised her family of 5 children and worked outside the home to support the family. She is a very conscientious person who is very caring and able to put herself in the other person's shoes.
Krissy has faced tremendous challenges, particularly lately, but will come out on top of any situation she is presented with and has a really wonderful attitude which is to be admired.
If given the chance, Krissy would prove to be an honest, hardworking and reliable employee who is willing to take on challenges. She has particularly good PR skills and can relate to people from all walks of life without any problems.
If you would like a verbal reference - please do not hesitate to contact me on my mobile after hours - i.e. after 4.30pm Monday - Thursday or all day on Fridays.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERNIt is with great pleasure that I recommend Kristine Davis. I have known her for approx four years.
Krissy has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility, and ambition. She is definitely a leader rather than a follower. In addition to her present excellent scholastic accomplishments, she has proven her leadership ability by attending with me to assist those unfortunate classed as “Homeless”.
She is also a most dependable team player. Her good judgment and mature outlook ensure a logical and practical approach to her endeavors.
Krissy would be an asset to any employer, or tenant, and I am happy to give her my wholehearted endorsement.
Sincerely,
10
