Out on a limb, 6 storeys up

ONE false step could mean a fatal fall for this maid, perched precariously outside her employer's sixth-floor maisonette, cleaning windows...

"...I would like to commend and applaud my maid agency, Maid Management Services, for its professional service and for having the foresight and social responsibility to educate my maid on Sars.

Soon after the outbreak,to my pleasant surprise, my maid recieved advisory notes (written in both English and Bahasa Indonasia) from the agency giving her sound advice on the precautionary measures to be taken against the severe acute respiratory syndrome.

And the following day, one of the agency staff called her to give an update. It was a great relief to me as i was wondering how to create enough awareness in one who was taking care of our children and elderly parents... I really appreciate the service of my agent."

"Just a note to say Thanks! Truly appreciate your professionalism and advice."

"We appreciate all the help you have rendered in counselling on maid & translating her letters.....Thanks!"

"With Thanks for your time and attention in helping our family to secure the services of Ani Rosita."

"It has been3 months Lorna Romero Bayron is with us and we must really thank you for your recommendation.

Most importantly, she is courteous and hardworking too."

"Thank you and Mr. Tan for all your help in choosing good and reliable maids for me. I have always found your staff friendly and helpful.

You will probably remember that you have chosen three maids for me over the last six years. They have all worked for me for me for at least two years or more each. I have found them all satisfactory. The present maid is also satisfactory."

My son and daughter have also taken maids from you and they have no complaints. A few friends of mine and my children have also taken maids from you. They also have no complaints..."

"Dear Felicia,

Please find enclosed a cheque for the amount of $300 being the 3rd installment payment as loan taken by my maid.

Many thanks for your sound advice in the recent situation that cropped up between my maid and me. I think you deals very fairly with all the parties concerned, and that you handler everyone with great sensitivity. That must be the reason why I have been such a long-term client with Maid Management. I hope your boss realizes what a huge asset you are to the company. Many thanks again!"
