To whom it may concern,
.
I will assume you are reading this letter because you are contemplating hiring
Lucey for a project that you are developing. In my opinion this may just be
one of the wisest decision you could possibly make.
.
We have worked together on innumerous projects now for over 20 years and he
is literally my right hand and my ultimate go to guy. His depth of knowledge is
surpassed buy very few. He is a true multit-tasker with a discerning ability to
always see the bigger picture and more so to see “all” of its finite components.
His forethought is at times almost clairvoyant.
.
He has not only become an invaluable member of my production team, but even
more so an invaluable friend and confidant. He is the most pragmatic optimist
I know and honestly brings joy and happiness everywhere he goes. His soul
restorative teddy bear hugs are globally famous.
.
I know this is unlike any letter of recommendation you have ever read, but you
should know Lucey is like no other man you will ever meet. Creatively he is
in the elite and by humanity standards he is in the exceptional.
.
Distance is the only thing that limits are working relationship to date, since
he prefers to be nearer his family in NYC and Copenhagen, but I can guarantee
there will be more collaboration in both our futures.
.
If you have any further question please feel free to call.
.
.
.
Sincerely
Susan A. Cohen
