Currently trying to organise a redundancy reference. Can't risk getting to the last stage and having someone drop out.

Also, we are a chicken household:

In answer to your enquiry, Sir, I am happy to see that you've had the good sense to hire Mr Fluffybutt. He is and will be an excellent employee.

@Thornburywitch @bacon To all whom this may concern,

I am writing to express my strong and sincere recommendation for Mr. Simon Fluffybutt as a candidate for this position.

In his previous role, Simon unlocked substantial value, leading both directly and indirectly to a strengthening of the sales pipeline, while leveraging and fully capitalising on synergistic new opportunities for revenue growth.

In a dynamic, fast-paced, lean, and agile environment, Simon demonstrates a natural flair for delivering outcomes while expertly liaising across multiple internal and external stakeholder groups with divergent expectations, while diligently managing competing priorities.

He is both a dynamic self-starter who thrives when taking ownership of projects to drive strategic results, as well as a collaborative team player who works efficiently towards shared goals and KPIs.

I have full confidence in Simon's extensive expertise, knowledge, and skillset, which will contribute meaningfully and substantively to the long-term growth of your organisation going forward.

If you have any questions in regards to this letter, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Kindest regards,

AJ

Does Gibson know you as Simon yet?

That actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you! Sadly she still calls me "meow"

With the right candidate the furry approach might work. If "Simon" fails, "Mr Mittens" might be worth a shot.
