Re: Ms. 
Dear Sir or Madam:

I am writing this letter on behalf of Ms. 
a 
communications

public 
relations 
professional 
of 
extraordinary ability. 
Since 2005 I have been President of the International Peace 
Institute (IPI), an independent, international not-for-profit 
think tank dedicated to managing risk and building resilience to 
promote peace, security, and sustainable development. To achieve 
its purpose, IPI employs a mix of policy research, strategic 
analysis, publishing, and convening. 
I had the distinct pleasure of working with Ms. 
benefitting from her extraordinary abilities. All my staff who 
have worked closely with 
appreciate her skills, command 
of languages and her always warm and amicable personality. 
I observed Ms. 
communication and language skills 
during a visit to Central Asia in 2014, where she interacted with 
foreign officials and professionals. Ms. 
will also be 
providing support to an upcoming international conference on 
Global Health and Pandemics. 
Sincerely yours, 
roA
