THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
We had a Venezuelan Firefighter audit a class we hosted this week. I'd like to write a letter that she could present to her supervisors when she returns to her department. Since she was auditing the class she will not be able to receive a certificate.

I am not sure what type of letter to write, or even the format to use. Any suggestions, or could you point me to examples and templates?


Signal211, she's going to the Industrial Fire school next month. She's intelligent, motivated and hot. I'm waiting for the Polaroids to be developed.

draft a letter addressed to her chief discussing her liaison skills and how her attendance and presence added value and perspective to the class

First point nails it. I've been in fire classes with students from other countries and they got the standard letter stating just about the same thing, unless something special stood out.

Oh and dont forget to say how awesome Obama is and how he would be even more awesomer if he could mimic more of Chaves' government programs.

MM send me her name. She can not get the cert because of the DEM grant for that class. I would just write out something saying she attended and list the stuff that is written on the other certs that do come. I can help you get a copy of it to her if she is here in 3 weeks.

Also, a lot of the fire fighters down there come and train with us. They can not help the government situation they are in and often pay out of there own pocket to get some quality training. They are always so humble and thankful for any help we can give them to take back and share what they learned. So they can help the ones that need the help.

Nick,

I'll do that in a bit. Her name is Natalia, you may already know her. She came up from Houston with Ian of the Cloverleaf VFD...Jarred seemed to know both of them.

This world is pretty small isn't it? I'll get the info to you this morning.


As for Arnold and Pasty White Boy....Polaroid is the pinnacle of photographic equipment and film. So hush.

What do you want to teach? Guest instructors are a big deal and we have all of our annual schools in July. It is a lot of fun you should apply. IM me your buddies name and department I might know.
