Dear Sonya:

On behalf of the Internal Revenue Service, I want to thank you and your employees for the valuable assistance provided our recent classes for IRS Dyed Fuel Compliance (June 8-30) and Certified Fuels Instructor (August 9-14.)

Every employee in your organization deserves to be recognized for the exceptional service and attention provided us on these two occasions. Your office staff and front desk staff could not be more accommodating. Every employee we passed in the hall had a smile and a friend word.

While we cannot individually recognize each person, we do ask that you convey our special thanks to two members of your food service staff, Suzie and Tippy. These people, with their caring and humor made a long time away from home a little bit easier to take.

Sincerely,

W. Ricky Stiff
Director, Office of Excise Taxes
