SUNTRUST March 13,
2001 To Whom It May Concern: Spanish for Financial Professionals
was an excellent experience for SunTrust Bank employees because we strive to
reduce barriers that can affect our communication with existing or potential
clients. Hablemos gave us the opportunity to
reach out to the Hispanic community and offer SunTrust banking services to
Spanish speaking clients on a basic level. The teaching style of Ed Gumucio was
relaxed and took into consideration the level of exposure each of us had in
Spanish. The classroom was comfortable and the curriculum focused on our
industry. He began by teaching the alphabet and giving us the fundamental skills
necessary to sound out most words. We also learned how to ask for
identification, employment information and use other significant banking terms. The class made us more at ease and
confident in our ability to communicate. Equally as important, was the sharing
of customs that raised our awareness and appreciation for other cultures. Sincerely, Denise
McBride
