Dear Sergio, I hope you are doing great. I am Jazzy and I am a former employee in Primary Response Inc. I am writing to ask you if you can provide a reference letter which has been requested by my new employer from Mi. Security corporation. If you remember, I was working as a team lead in our George Brown college in the morning shift. Where I was controlling all operations including staff attendance, contacting different contractors for college maintenance and submitting daily logs and incidents report to our operations manager after editing and reviewing. Recently, I have joined Mi. Security group and they have offered me a position as a Site Supervisor and have a really good salary including health benefits. But they want me to bring a reference letter from a former employer. I would really thankful if you can provide me with a letter including all roles and responsibilities which I have conducted in my job. I look forward to your positive response. Best regards, Jazzy
