To Who It May Concern:

I first met Richard as a possible candidate for one of his clients a little over a year ago. The process to place an executive within any company is a lengthy task. Richard was there every step of the way, in both acting in the capacity of the first interviewer for the client, but also in the capacity of my professional adviser.

The position, in which he placed me in, was an excellent fit for me. I have continued to grow and be successful with my career. Since my Hire with Kokusai Semiconductor Equipment Company in October 1998, I have come to respect Richard for his depth of business knowledge, his honesty, and his Integrity. I will
continue to use Richard Winn's services on a professional level to locate the right candidate for any of my Resource needs.

Sincerely,
Chris Nygren, Global Account Director
