To Whom It may Concern,
RE: Olga Cordeiro
It is my pleasure to write this letter of reference for Olga Cordeiro.
I have know Olga for almost ten years now. I know her primarily from when she was the Director of Finance for Mission Services of Hamilton when I was the Director of the Marty Karl Centre. In our respective positions we worked together throughout each year monitoring the program budget and dealing with our funders and other significant parties. We worked especially closely as the year end drew near as we addressed year end budget concerns and developed a proposed budget for the coming year.
Given that she and I worked in partnership in this way for a number of years I can confidently assert that she is a careful, competent and knowledgeable person regarding this particular field of endeavour. In addition to her knowledge and skill she is also a compassionate woman who both understands the population that comprises the Missions client base and the values that undergird the organization. Thus she would bring both heart and head to the position you currently have available.
I affirm her without hesitation. In fact I do so also on the basis of having also been a client of hers. She has prepared and filed my personal income tax for as many years as we have known each other and she is keen to ensure that her work is accurate, completed in a timely way and done right.
If I can offer any further information feel free to contact me at 905-544-6848 or via email at petergiokas@gmail.com
Sincerely,
Reverend Peter Giokas |
