 TESTIMONIAL FOR MR. IGOR SHARSHAKOV

"For approaching a year now Herald Asset Management in its dealings have been in contact with Igor Sharshakov on an almost daily basis. His intellect, linguistic skills, business manner, and sheer professionalism have always impressed us. We have copies of Mr. Sharshakov's electronic multilingual commercial dictionaries. Our own staff includes linguists of some standing, and it is clear that the contents of the dictionaries demand outstanding linguistic competency. Of course, compiling the dictionaries also requires a high level of computer literacy. Igor is cool under pressure, and on several occasions has retained a remarkable professional poise in the most difficult and demanding of situations. I do not recall Igor ever taking a holiday, and his dedication to accomplishing whatever task set is clearly exemplary. Above all, Igor is someone whom we have always been able to trust. We value his integrity highly, and we have enjoyed an excellent business relationship throughout."
