Jennifer Clark April 15, 2009 Mark Jackson Dear Mr. Jackson: I was in two minds when I heard the news that you are leaving our organization. Later, when I came to know that you are getting a better opportunity outside, I am happy for you. Your leaving is a big loss for the finance department and the entire company. . Under your leadership the entire finance team has progressed very well. You have been our source of inspiration and guided us in all our difficulties. I have learned a lot of skills from you. The two most important things that I have learned from you are dedication and patience. �You have helped me immensely when I started off as a young graduate. I have always come to you for advice while taking important decisions in my professional as well as personal life. To put it in right words you have been my mentor and guide. Yours truly, Jennifer Clark |
