To the Prospective Employer
of Tim McPherson:

Tim McPherson has been employed with Advo Telephony since 1997 and is presently serving as project manager during our regional restructuring project.

Tim was one of our best producers as a rookie, and quickly rose through the ranks. He excelled in every area. In addition to breaking most of our existing sales records, he demonstrated a strong work ethic and a consistent bottom-line mentality.

Unfortunately, Advo's restructuring necessitates closure of the local office. We've offered Tim a sales management position in San Diego, but his heart is set on staying near his family in Minnesota.

Tim McPherson is a real professional and an excellent human being. If I can provide information to support his candidacy, please contact me by telephone or e-mail.

Regards,

National Sales Manager, Advo Telephony Service
