To Whom It May Concern :
I am writing this letter in support of Kurt Hamly. I had the great pleasure of working
with Kurt during 2012 as an intern and employee at Merrill Lynch. Throughout that time
I found him to be an articulate, informed and reliable professional in all aspects of his
work.
Kurt was a self-directed, hard working employee who helped our practice increase
organizational efficiency during his tenure. He was observant, analytical and confident
enough to suggest solutions and set up implementation plans. He was also a thoughtful
and detail oriented researcher and could tackle large projects and stick to completion
deadlines. Finally, Kurt was an affable, very easy person to work with and a consummate
team player.
I am confident that Kurt Hamly will be a great asset to any institution that chooses to
accept him.
