Dear Sir,

Harold Antony Robinson

I have known Harold Antony Robinson for at least five years. We got acquainted when he began to work for our company as a sales representative in my department. He worked very hard, and he was a very reliable and responsible employee. Mr. Robinson is very intelligent, presentable and energetic. He has leadership qualities and an active part in the sociable life of our company. Mr. Robinson was a competent administrator and showed initiative on many occasions.

Yours faithfully
