To Whom It May Concern:

Mr. Faizal A. Samman, S.T. has asked that I prepare this letter of recommendation to be submitted as a requirement of his application to continue his study to pursue a  Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering in the field of Control Engineering in particular.  I do so with great enthusiasm.

As I write this letter,  Mr. Samman is in the process of taking a teaching position at the Department of Electrical Engineering,  Hasanuddin University, Makassar, INDONESIA, where I myself have been with since 1983.  Graduated from Gadjah Mada University,  which is one of most prominent universities in the country, he is surely a very prospective faculty member our department is looking for. Our department is looking forward to having him as one of our staff as soon as possible, but he has told us that he prefers to continue his study before fully joining with us here in Makassar. We appreciate this intention of his very highly.

I have been so thoroughly impressed by Mr. Samman’s technical competence in his field, and that he showed great interest in learning about new technology such as in computer-aided control design, I wholeheartedly recommend him for any opportunity to pursue a higher degree programs in his field. 

Should you wish 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.
