Re: Recommendation for Zelalem N. Bell-Sparrow
I am the CEO of FC Contractors for approximately 30 years. Over the thirty years, I have been the leading contractor for many different large-scale government and private contracts. My Firm has built churches, police stations, houses, worked on lead removal projects throughout the city of Memphis as a private and federal contractor.
I have worked very closely with Zelalem N. Bell-Sparrow during the summer of 2017. He served as an on-site electrical engineer on multiple construction projects.
Zelalem has excelled in this role, exhibiting one of the highest level of productivity have seen in electrical engineering during my 30-years with the company.
While working with him, I noticed his positive attitude toward completing a task and noticed his enthusiasm to grow and lean when working on new things. Zelalem took a special interest in the process of applying for government bids and contracts.
Zelalem has a good working ethic without any reservation I highly recommend Zelalem for whatever he desires to achieve, and I hope I will have the opportunity to work with him in the future.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

SUBJECT: Recommendation Letter for US Coast Guard Selection Committee
- I have known Mr. Bell- Sparrow and his family for more than twenty years and can attest to him being the finest young men that I have ever known. I would describe him as a mature, respectful, self-disciplined, and focused individual. He is at a tenacious problem solver, who will pursue a problem and/or opportunity to its’ fullest completion.
- I am proud to count as one of Mr. Bell-Sparrow’s friends and supporter. I only regret that I couldn’t persuade him to join the U.S. Air Force. I give my strongest recommendation that he be offered an appointment within the U.S. Coast Guard. For further recommendation, I can be reached DSN 445-7500

To: The U.S. Coats Guard
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to you on behalf of a former student. Zelalem Bell-Sparrow, who is applying for a Coast Guard Scholarship. I taught him in three different full-semester classes at Chabot College from Fall 2000 to Fall 2002. He was an active participant in class discussion and come to my office to discuss assignments with me on a regular basis. I thus came to know him better than I know most students, and feel well qualified to write a letter of reference on his behalf.
Zelalem was my student in algebra, pre-calculus , and calculus. Although Chabot College is a community college, our calculus sequence is very demanding , as it must meet high standards to transfer to the most highly selective universities in the California state system, including UC Berkeley and UCLA. Zelalem distinguished himself as a serious and hard-working student. As a member of the swim team, he sometimes had a demanding schedule of meets. But his academic work never suffered. His class attendance record was exemplary. In addition to required assignments , he turned in all optional work .
Zelalem is the kind of student who makes a class more productive for everyone. He was always completely attentive during lecture, and never hesitated to ask or answer questions. In all the classes he took from me, his willingness to participate raised the level of discourse in the class.
Because of his quiet nature. Zelalem’s leadership skill may not be immediately apparent to you in an interview. From my experience with him in class, I know that he is not only a fine leader but also liked and respected by his peer. I once gave a group assignment to my calculus class that had to be completed in 45 minutes . Each member of the group was to receive one point for every problem done correctly and lose one point for every problem done incorrectly students chose their own groups so they mathematically weaker students in the class…
