Subject: Recommendation for Melanie Patterson To Whom It May Concern: It is my pleasure to recommend Melanie Patterson for employment with your organization. I have worked with Melanie as direct manager at a Federally Qualified Health Center. Throughout her time with the organization, she demonstrated critical skills that would make her an excellent employee. Melanie has shown great competency as a referral coordinator.
