Dear Sir or Madam, 

Last month I sent a project to the institute and have received no response to my request for an affiliation of the independantly funded research project.  Would you please explain the long delay in responding.  The project has the go ahead from the necessary government agencies in the East African Ecological Region, and I simply need one of your faculty with an iota of interest in crustaceans to read my report at the end of the projected two years.  I am not asking for funding, only to give your institute more information on marine species in general.  After completion of this project, I hope to earn a position at an intitute such as yours, and would myself, would be very interested in the work of independant researchers.  My apologies for having forgotten the personal information which was promised in the letter accompanied by the basic project outine.  It is included here.   Any suggestion and propositions are open for discussion, and I hope to hear from you.

Respectfully yours, 

Mr. Michael Thomas Harbuck
