A Joyous Occasion by GreMar
San Jose, California

Dear Marcia:

I wanted to say "Thank you for a job well done," and to let you know how much I have enjoyed working with you over the past year. Please find enclosed an executed contract for our 1995 Company picnic as well as a check for your retainer for that event.

Everyone at Cygnus has told me that this year's Holiday party was the best company party they ever had attended, anywhere. Most importantly, this type of comment came from our Vice Presidents as well as our staff members. The fact that everyone had a good time is the highest recommendation I can give you. And, the party came in under budget.

Marcia, I must compliment you on your professionalism and attention to detail. You have always been responsive to my requests. It's good to know that I can always count on you. Not only that, but you have been a joy to work with. I will gladly recommend your services as a corporate event planner to any company.

Thank you for a spectacular party.

Sincerely,

Deborah A. Johnson
Administrative Assistant to the
Vice President Human Resources
