Mr. Joe De Young

Sales Manager

Dear Joe,

I wanted to take a final opportunity to thank you for the work we’ve done together during my tenure with Fieldstone Communities. Collectively, you and the Benchmark team as a whole, have been the quality trade partner I look to collaborate with to ensure successful projects. Be it in the design, bidding, installation and scheduling or ongoing maintenance of the projects you’ve participated in, service and attention to detail have been exceptional. Critical to the success of our partnership has been the reliability of your team in the field; without your team’s respect for our superintendents and schedules, our partnership would have not flourished. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Benchmark on future projects.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with such a professional organization. Thank you for being part of our success!

Best regards,

Anna L. Scott

Project Manager
