Dear Samantha,
I am writing in regards to Mimi Stone. I had the privilege of meeting her during my last visit to the Singapore Business Conference. I have heard recently that she left Global Tech about a month ago. This is a good thing because we are currently in search of someone like her for our new business prospects with your company. I know it may still be premature to conclude on the new business; however, we have met her, and she seems well versed in the operations part of our business. We are strongly considering her as a potential operations manager, but we need your feedback as 7 .
I am doing a background 8 on her and want to know if she is worthwhile to hire. If you do know anything about her, your reference will be of great value. If you are not familiar with her, could you talk to Jack Ryan, her ex-boss for me? I think you will get a much better 9 from him since you've done business with Global Tech in the past.
Thank you.
Best regards,

Director of Planning & Business Development Group, BASE ON-ROUTE INC.
