Hi Sallyjane,
A tactic I have used in the past is to have a colleague contact the employer to provide a reference...I have done this for others as well. The employer is often impressed that the colleague thinks highly enough of the prospective employee to make the call and provide the reference.
You might ask your friend if he would be willing to call your prospective employer and talk about your qualifications. you can provide him with all of the contact info so that it is really easy for him to do this for you.
Its been an effective tactic in the past and might work well for you too.
Although I am already convinced that you are hired and formore than you imagine!
