To Whom It May Concern
RE: Reference for Dianne Lawrence
Dear Reader:
I am writing to offer personal and professional reference for Ms. Dianne Lawrence.
Film Monthly a monthly magazine that reviews films, television shows and events, video
and DVD releases. Currently in our 8th year, we average over 1 million new readers per month.
Our ISSN number is 2339 and our URL is http://www.filmmonthly.com.
For the past three years Dianne has been an integral member of our staff, providing timely
reviews and festival coverage to our loyal readers. She has tackled every assignment with the
kind of professionalism and diligence I find exemplary. She has completed every assignment in
a timely manner and never hesitates if she has a question or requires assistance in any way.
Several years ago we experienced a difficult period when we lost three different editors to other
publications. Throughout this period Dianne was of great help to the publication, offering
assistance, guidance, feedback and perspective while the new editor got “up to speed” with operations.
It is due to this level of quality and conscientiousness that I recommend Dianne for
whichever position she may seek.
Sincerely,
Del Harvey Publisher, FilmMonthly.com delharvey@yahoo.com
