Recommendation Letter for Cookie Drop

To Whom It May Concern:

If you have never opened your front door to fresh, homemade cookies, you have not truly lived!  Fortunately, Cookie Drop in Erie, PA can help you live a sweeter, more fulfilling life!!!

Cookie Drop is a unique dessert shop, delivering fresh, homemade cookies anywhere in Erie County.  The menu changes weekly with their cookie selection coinciding with the season. During Christmas you can find distinctive flavors like eggnog and hot chocolate and during Mardi Gras, they offer selections that include king cake praline pecan or sugar masquerade masks.   Opening their (oven) doors in January 2021, Cookie Drop found an opportunity to offer a special service during the height of the COVID pandemic using an unconventional business model.  For only $5, you can purchase six homemade cookies, and have them delivered anywhere in Erie County, PA! They deliver on Wednesdays and Fridays and ordering is as easy as sending a text message and making a payment via PayPal – it’s incredibly simple!

My family received cookies from Cookie Drop in the fall of 2021 and we immediately fell in love with their cookies and service.  I now utilize Cookie Drop as a thank you for my clients and professional contacts I meet with.  I have received so many compliments about how thoughtful and delicious the treats were and I have yet to find a better way to help forge a stronger relationship!

I’m grateful that Cookie Drop created such a sweet business during a very bitter time! If you want to deliver the feeling of importance to someone you know, I highly recommend you text Cookie Drop at 814-420-6065 and have them deliver cookies for you; you will not be disappointed (and neither will your recipient!).

Yours truly,

Adam Baker

Recommendation Letter for Absorb & Restore

To Whom It May Concern:

In Erie, PA, you fall in to one of two groups – those that have had their basement flooded, or those that are waiting for their basement to flood!  Recently, I moved in to the “had their basement flooded” group, and if weren’t for the amazing water damage team at Absorb & Restore, it could have been a terrible, costly experience.

Absorb & Restore is a local, veteran owned and operated, water damage company in Erie, PA and provides prompt, compassionate, and professional service. Working in both homes and businesses, Absorb & Restore handles roof leaks, pipe breaks, sewer/drain backups, and mold remediation.   Answering the call 24/7, owner Zack Kavchak and his team truly understand the emotions and concerns of their client and are there for them during their client’s time of disaster.

When I reached out to Zack, it was during a snow melt / rain event and he was extremely busy.  He told me he could get to my house around 3 pm, and he was there just as he said he would be.  He assessed the damage and explained his plan to me. Immediately, he and his team got to work and they came back every day (even on the weekends) to check the status of the carpet and walls and move the blowers to ensure the basement was drying properly.

Here is what I love about Absorb & Restore’s service. Unlike most water damage companies, Absorb & Restore doesn’t double as a construction contractor.  This is an important detail because Zack and his team were focused on saving as much of my carpet and walls as they safely can.  Where other “restoration” companies benefit from damage because clients will most likely hire them to replace it, Absorb & Restore doesn’t operate that way. They truly have your best interest at heart when they begin their restoration.  Zack and his team were able to salvage EVERYTHING for me.  When they say their values are “Integrity First”, they truly mean it.

While no one wants a flooded basement, I’m grateful that I knew to call Zack and his team at Absorb & Restore to handle my crisis.  If you’re a new member of the “had their basement flooded” group in Erie, PA – call Absorb & Restore.  If you are in the “waiting for the basement to flood” group, hold on to Zack’s number – one day you’ll need it and you’ll be grateful you had it; I was!

 

Yours truly,

Adam Baker

Recommendation for Community Shelter Services

To whom it may concern:

It is with great honor and respect that I write this letter of recommendation on behalf of an important organization, Community Shelter Services. Established in 1973, Community Shelter Services provides vital services with the mission of preserving the dignity and supporting the development of those who are homeless.

Community Shelter Services fulfills this mission by providing temporary, transitional, and permanent shelter, as well as support services, referrals, and advocacy. It works to enable individuals to meet their basic need for food, clothing, and shelter, and transforms lives using a holistic approach to understanding and addressing behavioral health, housing, and employment needs.

In the last 12 months, Community Shelter Services has provided over 91,000 safe nights of sleep, 90,000 meals, housing for 90 families, and shelter for 215 children. However, none of it would be possible without the amazing staff and volunteers that stand behind it. Each one is kind, caring, and genuinely passionate about helping those around them.

Community Shelter Services is an important organization that provides vital support and service to those who need it most. I commend its staff and volunteers for the good work they do and support them wholeheartedly as they work to make a difference in the lives of so many people.

Sincerely,

Adam Baker
