Alpha Financial Firm,

Dear Mr. Lira

I had the pleasant opportunity to work closely with Mr. Richard for one year, during his two year
employment at Influx Accounts Inc. Richard and I collaborated on several projects together. I am pleased
to say that Richard is an excellent team player, a sincere and hardworking individual, and an ideal
coworker.

Richard always did more work, than his share of the work on the projects he was assigned. He
often took the initiative to handle difficult projects and picked up new tasks efficiently. I am glad to have
work with him, as the management had always praised the assignments we worked together on. Richard
had good ethical behavior at work.

I highly recommended Richard for whatever position he may decide to take up next. He is talented
person and good employee. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

Regards,

Jordan Slavens,
Account Manager,
Influx Accounts Inc.
