								 The First of June, 2006

Dr. Kazungu, 

I am a young man who has studied for last six years in the fields of biology, zoology, and marine science.  My goal to become an independant researcher has driven me to visit many universities, people and places on three continents.  In 2004 I had the pleasure of visiting Kenya, and the institute there.  The preparations for my research project are now complete, and I require an affiliation from you there at KMFRI for the research grant.  Would you please affiliate my general biology research on the littoral stomatopod.  I have included my resume, as well as the pertinent research information.  If  the use of your facilities there for observation is possible, it would as well,  be a great benefit.  I would like to begin observation and data collection in 2007, and therefore must complete all of the necessary forms within a three month time frame.  The small project will be funded by myself, my family, and other private sponsors.  

Congratulations on your new position.  I had sent Dr. Kitheka this same information, and it was forwarded to him at his new post with the UN.  He pointed me in the correct direction and was glad to be of help.  

Furthermore I would like to thank you for the official use of the library at the institute during my stay in Mombassa in 2004.  I am looking forward to returning as an official researcher.

If you require more information, please let me know, so that I can answer any questions.  

Sincerely, 

Mr. Michael Thomas Harbuck
