Hi Max,

The professional services listing page is only a listing, not an 
endorsement of services[1]. Further, the PostgreSQL trademark policy[2] 
prevents organizations from officially claiming endorsement from the 
PostgreSQL community. Unfortunately, we can't provide this requested letter.

Thanks,

Jonathan
