<p class="xmsonormal">Dear Prof. Riis:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">&nbsp;It is with pleasure that I am able to inform you that the following member of your faculty is among the 142 Outstanding Referees of the&nbsp;Physical Review and Physical Review Letters journals, as chosen by the&nbsp;journal editors for 2015.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">&nbsp;John Jeffers<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Initiated in 2008, the Outstanding Referee program expresses appreciation for the essential work that&nbsp;anonymous peer reviewers do for our journals. Each year a small percentage of our 65,000 active referees&nbsp;are selected and honored with
 the Outstanding Referee designation. Selections are made based on the number, quality, and timeliness of referee&nbsp;reports as collected in a database over the last 30 years. The program will recognize about 150 referees each year, although larger groups were&nbsp;selected
 in 2008 and 2009. A full listing and further details on the program are available here:<a href="http://publish.aps.org/OutstandingReferees"><span style="color:#386EFF">http://publish.aps.org/OutstandingReferees</span></a>. &nbsp;I am&nbsp;also attaching a press release
 that your institution might use if it wishes to publicize the honor that your faculty member has received.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Please allow me to congratulate you and your faculty member on this honor, and thank you for your support and contributions to the APS&nbsp;journals and to the physics community.<o:p></o:p></p>
