Dear Bruce:

I want to thank you for counseling my office regarding several issues over the last few months as I transitioned from insurance company executive to full-time business owner. Starting a new business has proven far more challenging than we even expected and your insight and guidance has been a huge benefit for us.

You are a valuable resource and we are extremely grateful for the time and effort you’ve spent on our behalf. All of us at Watermark want to thank you and wish you the very best in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Penny J. Fulton, CLU, ChFC
Managing Director, Watermark, LLC

I am writing this letter of reference for Bruce Matthews and very pleased to be doing so. Bruce Matthews has been doing consulting for our company approximately 10 years.
