To whom it may concern:

James Robert Deal recently handled my loan modification with Bank of America.  James' knowledge and expertise in the mortgage business resulted in an extremely satisfactory outcome.  His efforts and attention to detail made the loan modification process run efficiently and with minimal effort on my end.

I had the opportunity to meet with James during a visit to Seattle and am pleased to have met such a good friend.  He is personable and knowledgeable in many areas, especially in the legal profession and I had a wonderful time during my stay.  James is a great choice to handle your affairs.

Sincerely,



Henry Forrest Manns
