Letter to the Governor

Dear Governor,
I want to write you a letter to make you proud of one of our state employees. I was driving my minivan today on 66 West, just outside of Vienna, when my tire blew out on my minivan. I was so scared and pulled over next to the snow banks in a HOV lane. I was in a very dangerous place and couldn’t get out of my vehicle because of the traffic whizzing by. I called 911 and two state troopers came immediately to park behind my vehicle with flashers to keep me safe.

What impressed me the most was the nice man that came 10 minutes later with the truck to help me change the tire on my minivan. He drove one of the trucks that have the blinking arrows on it with “VDOT” written on the side. He was the most calming man that could have ever arrived to assist me. He opened my door for me and gave me clear instructions and directions on what to do. My safety was his first priority. The spare tire on my vehicle was in poor condition and could not be changed but he assured me that he would protect me and check on me while I waited for a flatbed tow truck.

Please commend this employee, “Mike Musgrove” for his exceptional service to me. I could see that he had a wonderful relationship with the state troopers and acted extremely professional. He has a very dangerous job as I watched a motorist pull over to ask him for directions while assisting me. I was so thankful for his help.
Sincerely,
Andrea
