Dear Mr. Pong,
Further to your letter of 11 December, I am more than pleased to provide a reference for Ms Chan, who has worked at this company in the capacity of my Personal Assistant since she joined the company in 1997.
I can recommend Ms Chan to you without the slightest hesitation. I have always found her to be a totally loyal and honest worker who can be relied upon. Although she does sometimes find it a little difficult to interact with other members of staff, Ms Chan is extremely hard-working and efficient. If you were to appoint Ms Chan, we should find it very difficult to replace her. However, we appreciate that, in her own interests, it may be time for
Ms Chan to move on.
Yours sincerely,
Ms. Edith Woo
Training Manager
