LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION

To Whom It May Concern:
Mr. Abdullah Mandan, S.T. has asked that I prepare this official Letter of Recommendation to support his intention to continue his study to pursue a Masters Degree in Electronics, Telecommunication, Computer Engineering or Computer Science in a university overseas. 
Mr. Abdullah Mandan completed his first degree in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, INDONESIA, where I myself have been with since 1983. He graduated in 1995 and has involved in many professional experiences – especially in the field of telecommunication networking – since then. He has been working with a prominent telecommunication company in the country.
During his tenure as a student in my department, Mr. Abdullah Mandan has shown his talent and competency in his field, indicated by excellent grades he received in many fundamental courses in Electrical Engineering. His undergraduate final project, which is an application of MC8031AH micro-controller chip, was the ultimate work of his excellent career as an electrical engineering student. 
I have been so thoroughly impressed by Mr. Abdullah Mandan’s technical competence in his field, and that he showed a great interest in learning about the new technology in the Electronic Telecommunication Networking Technology, Computer Engineering and Science, I wholeheartedly recommend him for any opportunity to pursue a higher degree program in this field. I strongly believe that he will complete his continuing study program without any difficulty what so ever     
Should you wish to get any further information, please feel free to contact me, and I will gladly respond to your inquiries.

With kindest regards,

Ir. Rhiza S. Sadjad, M.S.E.E., Ph.D.
