The opening

February 27, 2018 To whom it may concern:

This letter is one of recommendation. Samantha Greenwood worked as a volunteer nurse for Médecins Sans Frontières from September 2010 through January 2018. She was a valuable and popular member of the Women's Health team, assisted with antenatal and postpartum care, fistula repair, and sexual-health education projects in rural communities. She is an honest and hardworking lady of principle, who is not afraid to speak.

Samantha Greenwood also undertook emergency medical-aid work in Chad, South Sudan, and the Central African Republic, assisting at operations resulting from armed conflict: shot extraction, limb amputation, eye removal, and urgent wound repair, much of it undertaken in situations of challenging circumstance. I have heard nothing but good reports of her medical training and personal conduct.

I do not hesitate to recommend Samantha Greenwood for nursing and medical-assistance positions.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Sonja Ajanlekoko, MBBS (Nigeria) 2008, DRCOG Project Coordinator, Médecins Sans Frontières

Sorry to bother you. I couldn’t speak to Helen at last night’s rehearsal. Could you pass a message on, please? A new girl at work, Sam, is coming to see the play on Saturday night. I’d love her to join Fairways. She hasn’t done any drama before, and spent the last few years in Africa of all places, but she’s got a husband and we should grab them both while they’re still new to the area and friendless! She’s very nice—a staff nurse in Geriatrics, so a shiftworker, boo—but her husband is probably the same age (30s) and Helen has said how badly we need men, especially if we do All My Sons next.
