The following Example has been taken out of IMT viewer so the formatting might be off.  I did not changed mission information, only names to protect myself and the people I have received the information from.  If you have anything you would like to submit, please do so.  If you have found this information useful, please let me know. Everyone of these letters has taken considerable amount of time to put together.  Please treat yourself to something special from one of the ads on the page.  We will both get something out of it.  (All money gathered pays for hosting fees and domain fees.  HONESTLY, when I see money come in it also prompts me to work harder on the site.)

NOTE:

I really like this package, its full of numbers showing impact and bullets outlining the persons ability.  There are two things to note.  First, laser is spelt wrong unless that is the name on the device.  The second really doesn't impact this award package but it is a good time to bring it up is how the word picture is painted.  above highlighted in light blue is half job standard. Be careful with type of  word usage because it has a double meaning...  In this case it means the person completed the job in half of the time standard, but it could also mean the job was done so quickly due to the person skipping job standards.  This really comes into play in EPR/OPR time because it will leave a board guessing.
