			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My team and I greatly appreciate you recommending our service to your friends, family, neighbors and associates (you get the point – lol). </p>
<p>To show our appreciation we will send you a thank you gift!   </p>
<p>When the person you refer hires a company from the <a href="http://www.urbanreferrals.com">Urban Referrals Network</a> we will send you $25.00.  If the project is greater than $15,000 we will send you $50.00.</p>
<p>Please ask anyone you refer to us to provide your name when they talk with someone from our team.</p>
<p>BIG FAVOR &#8211;   We request that you send people to <a href="http://urbanreferrals.com/find-a-contractor.html">Urban Referrals</a> instead of directly to the company you hired from our network.   We realize it is human nature to refer a company to those in need of their services thus emailing you about this today.   Why do we ask this?   </p>
<p>Urban Referrals makes sure that companies in our network are:  </p>
<p>•	Current with their appropriate licensing and insurance.<br />
•	Have their EPA RRP certification and are registered with the EPA (if appropriate).<br />
•	Are conducting proper business practices.<br />
•	Are the best fit for your friend/neighbor/others project goals, time frame and budget.<br />
•	Urban Referrals can continue to connect DC metro area consumers with reliable and quality home remodeling companies! </p>
<p>We look forward to sending you money! </p>
<p>Happy remodeling &#8211; </p>
<p>Marla</p>
