Hello attached is the book, please let me know if you need anything else. 79075_1Human Resource Development 6th - Jon M Werner.pdf I should have specified that I need an American company because it would sound more like I wrote it. The professor knows where I live and wouldn't believe me if I turned this in. Can you please make it sound more American? City in Florida or something similar? I looked up the actual CEO of this company and is listed here on this website along with other relevant information for this company. http://www.bbb.org/central-florida/business-reviews/contractors-solar-energy/superior-solar-systems-in-altamonte-springs-fl-90263360 http://www.superiorsolar.com/ Aside from aligning the information to fit this actual company, the paper will be good to go. The assignment is good to go. My apologies for the late response. I wanted to check in and see if the final draft was ready with the Student-Turn it in page.
