Professor, 

Please let me thank you for the good news, as I am eager to return to work which I have prepared now for many years.  It is often said that there are not enough general biology researchers, so I decided to give myself to this profession.  The additoin of colleagues from the university will be a welcome addition to the project, and the publication(s) will hopefully serve to further the education and carees of all involved.  The project heirarchy will consist of myself, and the researchers you find would best work on such a project.  I will write quarterly progress report to all of the associated organisations, and lead the research.  The team of researchers and organisations should be a formidable scientific force.  The first week or two, if deemed necessary can be spent  at the university for purposes of organisation.  The data will be free to any and all organisations to use as long as name is given to all project researchers.  I hope you find this acceptable, as it is a good practice.  All samples are property of Kenya, and should be kept by the according institute or department.  I am open to suggestions, and ready to work.  The project is an independant research with association with American, European, and now Kenyan affiliation.  It is intended solely to further general information on the stomatopod species, and can be adapted to other species as well, in case you have other students interested in doing the same.

The next step for me is the research permmit, which I have to apply for as soon as possible in order to start in 2007, and keep the project schedule.    

Therefore, would you please complete the portion of the form where the affiliation is requested, and return this to me.  I will in turn then send the completed forms to the Ministry of Science and Education. 

I have included the necessary form, a return envelope and postage. 

Sincerely, 

Mr. Michael Thomas Harbuck
