11. To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me to attend the MIAPWA Fleet Maintenance Issues for Today’s Fleet Managers, Parts Personnel and Technicians seminar held at Boyne Mountain May 22, 23, and 24, 2007.
This was a very informative program where I gained a lot of knowledge pertaining to my job. It gave me the opportunity to meet people in the same field and exchange questions and ideas. I also was able to interact with many vendors and factory representatives of products and equipment we utilize.
I feel that the money spent for me to attend was well worth it. I have come away from the program with many new ideas.
Again thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend this seminar.
Sincerely,
