TO WHOM IT MAY CONERN:

Evette Northern was hired by Pinkerton Government Services to serve as the RegionalHuman Resources Manager for both our Southeast Area and a large client contract inTennessee and Alabama. Ms. Northern was hired on July 28, 2008. Unfortunately, dueto a company restructuring and the loss of the client contract in Tennessee and Alabama,Ms. Northern's position is being eliminated on November 20, 2008.

This elimination is in no way a reflection of the work Ms. Northern performed or of herabilities and knowledge. During her time with Pinkerton, Ms. Northern showed herself tobe a very knowledgeable human resources professional. She was able to make an impactimmediately working with both our managers and our employees to help resolve issuesand assist in all areas of HR.
