To Whom It May Concern:

Philippa Courtney is a quick study, a terrific researcher and a fabulous (really fabulous) writer. I don't know when I've seen someone grasp complex info as quickly as she does and put it into succinct, readable language. She amazes me. You should definitely meet her if you can and certainly consider her for any writing projects that come along.

We entrusted her with a huge one -- a compilation of everything new employees need to know about our business, industry, issues, etc. -- and she did an awesome job. On top of everything else, she is a delightful person and has had a fascinating career.

I'd recommend her wholeheartedly to you and anyone else you know who is looking for great writing talent.

Sincerely,

Paula Coppel
