Microsoft
To Whom It May Concern:
I am the Financial Director of Microsoft Rus LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation in the United States. I have worked with the company for over seven years in and outside of the United States.
I have had the opportunity to work very closely with Michael Belton since the middle of 2003 on a key project to relocate our Russian headquarters into newer, larger office space in Moscow, Russia. His work been a fundamental and vital factor in the success of this project.
Our new headquarters will accommodate all of our local staff under one roof and will promote more efficiency and teamwork. With 20,000 square feet of workspace, focus rooms, reception, internet café and conference and training rooms, I am confident the new space will provide a launching pad for growth and expansion in Russia. With exclusive "Microsoft" signage on our building, our local market presence will also improve.
I am very appreciative of Mr Belton's efforts in this strategic undertaking by Microsoft.
Regards,
Jeffery M. Johnson
