Dear Eddie

Just thought I would touch base and let you know how wounderfull the library you built for us is looking.

I call it my "unwind room". When I come home from work I sit in that room and do nothing but look and think for about 30 minutes.

I am still so impressed by your workmanship, the way you put it altogether, the thought you put into it, the secret door, everything!

I have to tell you that everyone who has seen the library makes a very flattering comment.

I want you to know the pleasure your library gives us all.

I hope this brief note finds you and roberta well and happy.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

 

This will certify that I have known Mr Edward James Valk of 7 Corniche Road, Church Point, Sydney, NSW, Australia, for a period in excess of five years.

During that time I have had the pleasure of doing business with Eddie as well as mixing with him socially. I have found him to be always helpful, polite & a very sincere friend. Since first coming in contact with Eddie I have observed him to be a dedicated & dependable memeber of the community.

As a highly regarded Cabinet-maker to many Sydney Antique Dealers, Eddie has demonstarted that he is a stalwart of his profession & has an unswerving devotion to it. As a consequence, Eddie has developed a wide-spread & enviable name for the manner in which he conducts his affairs & the care & consideration which he brings to looking after his clientele, friends & acquaintances.

His undoubted skills have endeared him to the Antique Fraternity & has earned him a reputation of being wholly reliable, a conscientious worker & one who is forthright & possitive in his views as well as in his participation.

throughout my many dealings with him I have found him to be industrious, reliable & thoroughly trustworthy; a man of the highest principles & character.

The relationship between Eddie & myself is one which I value greatly as he displays a very genuine & warm personality.

I am pleased to have the opportunity to provide a recomendation for him & have no hesitation in vouching for his character.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Mr. Edward Valk was highly recommended to me as a Master Antique furniture restorer four years ago and has conserved numerous items in my collection during this time.

I regard him as the most skilled and talented crasftman in his chosen field in Sydney and amongst the finest in Australia.

There is always a queue of dealers and discerning Collectors who choose to wait for Mr. Valk to restore and conserve their furniture to a high standard.

Whether the item requires carving, marquetry, joinery, turning, polishing, lock servicing and other allied skills, the work is always finished with meticulous care. Of Significance is his faculty to comprehend and implement his clients requirements.

Mr. Valk posesses a warm, obliging and helpful personality and I have found him to be dependable, honest and reliable at all times.

Without reservation I confidently recomend his services and shall be happy to answer any questions.

I vish Mr. Valk continued success and happy journey and look forward to his safe return to the Sydney Antiques fraternity.
