Letter of Recommendation for Peter Evans

June 3, 2002

To Whom It May Concern:

I had the pleasant opportunity of having Peter in my class over the past two semesters at State

Community College. The two courses he took with me were “Marketing Promotions and

Communications”and “Strategic Marketing Management.”In each of these courses we do major

hands-on projects that prepare our students to be immediately productive as marketers in the

workplace. I was very pleased with both the marketing tools and the strategic marketing plan that

Peter created in the two courses he took with me.

Not only were his projects both creative and practical, his manner of interacting with other students

during the collaborative projects we did in class was most commendable. He is able to not only come

up with a lot of good ideas but also clearly be an enthusiastic “team player.”

Peter always did more than his fair share of the work needed to be done on the projects we did in

class. He took the initiative to get things started and, demonstrating great follow-through, picked up

the slack when things were going slowly. His teammates all seemed to respond favorably to Peter

both as a team member and as a person, and the output of his groups was always excellent.

I was glad to have Peter Evans as a student in my marketing courses. I highly recommend Peter as

an excellent person to hire for a marketing position. He will be the type of employee anyone would

be pleased to have on board.

Sincerely,

Cynthia Clarke
