Dear Mr. Trenton:
We would like to thank your company for referring Mr. Kyle Barton to Editors, Inc. In a preliminary telephone conversation with Mr. Barton, he mentioned that he obtained information concerning our services from Martina Haverty in your design department. We hope to be working with Mr. Barton in the near future on his manuscript.
We appreciate your employees taking the time to refer people who are requesting developmental editing services to our new company. It is gratifying to know that we are developing a favorable enough reputation for your employee to feel confident enough to refer to us someone who may also require your services at a later date. Please be assured that we will recommend your binding services to our customers.
Sincerely,
[/tab]

Dear Emilio:
I would like to thank you for the enthusiastic referral you gave Ms. Lightner during the lunch we had today. She wasn’t joking when she said she would call immediately; there was a message waiting for me when I got back to the office.
Are you sure you wouldn’t like to become a sales representative for our accounting firm? With the kind of referrals you give, we would probably have more business than we could handle.
Thanks again; the possibility of a new client is always appreciated.
Regards,

Ms. Troy:
Lopez, Lopez & Lector Law Firm would like to thank you for the referral of Scott Pulford to our offices. The preliminary discussion of his grievance would certainly seem to indicate that our lawyers can competently handle his case.
We will certainly reciprocate by referring any accident litigation to your offices.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Cross:
Yesterday I got a call from Peter DeFreitas, vice president of operations at Silver Media Group, requesting a quote on designing and publishing a monthly program guide of their services and channels. Peter said you had recommended our company and related to him how pleased you were with our last project.
I sincerely appreciate the referral. Thanks to you we have the chance to really make a mark with the largest media company in the region. This is just the sort of boost we needed to get to the next level of business.
As a sign of my appreciation, I’d like to buy you lunch next week. I’ll be in touch within a day or so to see when you’re available.
Sincerely,
[/tab]
