Dear Sandy:

Thank you for doing such an outstanding job in representing me to Greenberg Traurig. When we first got together, I was amazed at how well you knew my own firm, never mind the overall market. From the get-go, I liked your candor and practical attitude--it's quite unlike the usual pushy "get a fee at any cost" headhunter style, and very refreshing. In addition, your insights on the pros and cons of different firms were very helpful. You displayed an intuitive grasp of my career objectives, and your skill in identifying the opportunities that were most compatible with my financial and practice goals was invaluable.

As you know, when I started this process, headhunters were coming out of the woodwork, and in most instances I didn't even take their calls. You forced me to focus and take stock of my career at a time when that action was critical. As a result, I probably looked closely at eight or nine major firms and had extensive discussions with four or five of them. The fact that I chose Greenberg from a number of potential opportunities is in no small part to your efforts, and this was unquestionably the best opportunity for my career --it's as much a testament to your matchmaking skills as it is your tenacity.

Thanks again for all your efforts and playing a key role in furthering my career--working with you has been a pleasure. I'd like to say that I look forward to working with you again, but the truth is I'm thrilled with Greenberg and expect to end my career here. I would recommend you highly to any partner thinking of advancing his or her career.

Sincerely,
Jack McBride
