December 19, 2008 To Whom It May Concern: It is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Ben Coy for consideration for employment with your firm. I had the pleasure to instruct Ben in several classes (Sales Management, Strategic Management etc.) and have found him to be an above average student that works well in groups and one that has outstanding leadership skills. Academic excellence is but one criterion for a new employee. Ben is excellent at project work. He is respected by his peers and demonstrates a level of maturity not usually found for a person his age. I am the faculty advisor for the Northwood University American Marketing Association and Ben was a former member of the club and was a past president. During his senior year, Ben led the club to during the AMA International competition and was rewarded with four major awards. This was a record performance for our university. In addition, underclassmen that Ben trained went on to earn a fifth place finish out of 230 colleges and universities the following year. Ben would be an excellent addition to any firm. He brings a strong work ethic, real world experience and a record of personal leadership that would enhance any program. Sincerely yours,
Fred W. Honerkamp, Associate Professor Marketing Department Chair
