This letter was written by a former employer for Koh Ah Tin, who worked as an amah for the employer's family from 1964 to 1967. The letter commends Koh for her housekeeping and child caring skills and her honesty. Born in Singapore in 1921, Koh was the main breadwinner for her family. She worked as an amah for British families living in Singapore after the second world war. As an amah she took care of the children in the families and did household chores.
