"Hello,
1. This letter summarizes my own experience and impressions of Olga employed by Greg and Nina Zaytzeff for a trip they organized specifically for me to Vitebsk, Belarus. Olga was their representative in Belarus and was impeccable in her dedication to ensure my visit to Belarus was a success.
2. As a starting point I experienced superb service by Olga during my stay in Vitebsk. Olga had many roles in my contact with her during my stay and she performed flawlessly in all aspects. Olga was my interpreter all the days I was there and I am most thankful for that it was Olga because she was extraordinary in not only translating conversations and the Russian language to English for me, but also recognizing and explaining cultural differences to me as I had never been in Belarus before.
She was unique in this role.
Olga was an excellent ambassador for both the city of Vitebsk and the country of Belarus. Her knowledge of the city and of Belarus was communicated to me in manner that was highly interesting and gave me feeling of wanting to know even more. In that spirit Olga encouraged me to buy a few books about Vitebsk and Belarus.
For that I am most grateful.
Olga’s people or social expertise is in its own class. Here is a goldmine in value from my perspective. She met me immediately upon arrival in Vitebsk and was available at all times during my stay. Olga arranged for my meeting a lady I have communicated with several months now, but never met in person. Olga was the person I discussed personal matters with the highest level of confidence. She was in return most honest and functioned as my personal adviser on several occasions.
For that I feel I am eternally indebted to Olga for her help in this area. She was extremely organized and had recommendations of what to do, where to eat as examples. Olga is well versed on traditional Belarusian food culture and deserves a five star rating for her knowledge. Olga’s communicative expertise both language and social interactive skills proved to be invaluable for me in my conversations and contact with the lady I was with during my stay in Vitebsk.
Olga was serviced-minded with me the whole time in Vitebsk. She on several occasions purchased items on my behalf and advised me on what was a wise selection of other purchases. It was unlimited where and how Olga would go or drive in Vitebsk to find exactly what I had in mind. Absolutely amazing and impressive!
In addition a quality Olga has which I found most impressive was her willingness to go the extra mile in giving of herself in her work. I mention a specific function she was with my lady friend and I for yoga lessons. My lady friend and Olga and I were her students with Olga also functioning as my translator. I found that to be most impressive and this exemplifies all aspects of my contact with Olga during my stay in Belarus.
I have tried to use the words I know best to describe my experience with Olga. She is a rare gem of a person. So take excellent care of her and treat her like gold because she deserves nothing less.
Sincerely,
Jim"
