Dear Sir or Madam, 

Would you please accept my application for research in Kenya.  I have included all of the necessary copies, all documents, and pertinent research information.  As per instruction, you will find the application payment in the form of an international money order/ cashier's check inclosed in an envelope.  

Please contact me if there is anything further which is required.  I would very much like to begin the three year observational research period in the second half of the year 2006, and hope to hear from you.

Having officially visited both the Jomo Kenzatta University, and Kenya Marine Fisheries Research Institute in 2004, I am eager to return to Kenya as an official  researcher.

Sincerely, 

Mr. Michael Thomas Harbuck
