Hello Sarah.I'm not sure if you remember me, but we worked together at Big 5 a few years back(like 9 years to be exact).I am contacting you because I am applying for the L.A.P.D. As part of my background check, Background Investigators need references of people I worked with in history. You seem to be the only person I can contact from when working at Big 5. I was hoping you'd do me the honors of being my employee reference from working at Big 5. If you're uncomfortable with it, I understand. They would only need your name and a phone number. Most likely, they won't contact you because it was such a long time ago when we worked at Big 5, they'd assume you wouldn't remember. Plus, I have a very clean record during that period, so there's no reason for them to investigate my behavior 9 years ago.You'd really be helping me out, Sarah. And I would greatly appreciate any support I can get. I hope all is well with you.
