Letter Of Recommendation
To whom it may concern,
Dory Zidon joined our team in September 2001, as a software engineer to assist in the coding and design of our anti-virus product. He proved himself as a highly able team member with a "can do" attitude. His broad knowledge and problem solving attitude should also be noted. He is both a professional and a people person, and a good team player. It is my belief that Dory would be an asset for any company he joins.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish him all the success and luck in his future roles.
