To Whom It May Concern:

 

This letter is being written in regard to Mr. Allen Kasey, former Vice President of Engineering with BroadLink Communications in Santa Rosa, California.

 

For the past seven months, I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kasey to establish a multi-level / multi-faceted partnership between BroadLink Communications and AT&T. 

 

Allen was instrumental in the establishment and continuation of "building" of a strategic relationship with AT&T.  Under his executive direction and guidance, we progressed through the consultation, engineering and network design phase of our project.  At the same time, Allen also drove the establishment of key partnerships and liaisons within AT&T that have successfully assisted both BroadLink and AT&T is structuring our on-going relationship.  His efforts have paved the way that will lead us both in a venture that will enable BroadLink to offer their partners and customers a nationwide network access offering that will be considered unique in the marketplace. 

 

Please call or E-Mail me any questions regarding my statement of recommendation for Mr. Allen Kasey.

 

Respectfully,
