Dear Sir or Madam, 

I would like to undertake a three year buiatric study in East Africa.  Persons from the UK have done studies, especially as the universities were founded in the sixties.  However, there is no contemporary data which gives an idea of the current picture of buiatric health in this particular area.

Having visited the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Nairobi, and having seen the need for new data, I would like to implement pathalogical monitoring in the East African Ecological Region.  

For the reason that I am not a student, not affiliated with any large institution, nor yet a member of a veterinary practice, but rather being an independant biological/veterinary researcher who wishes to build a career, it would be appropriate and adventageous to build a working relationship with a US organisation or body working in the EAER.

Contacts to the various associated entities and veterinarians in Africa have already been made by myself, and I would like to ask for the support of the Department of Agriculture. 

Sincerely, 

Mr. Michael Thomas Harbuck
