Hello Dhishan,


How have you been?

I really enjoyed my time interning under you at Bloomberg in the summer of 2024, working on Skyline/Atlas


I am writing this email to ask if you would be willing to be my references and/or write a letter of reference for me when applying for future internship roles. We discussed my interest in game development, and your references would be a great support for me in exploring this field.


Thank you for your time, Aaron James
