Dr. Muthiga, 

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

Furthermore I would like to thank you for your time during my stay in Mombassa in 2004.  I am looking forward to returning as an official researcher.  It has been two years now since I visited Kenya, and I am eager to return and get to work.  I have already been granted an affiliation from the Zoology Department at the University of Nairobi, but a second, especially from marine experts, would be a big help towards the research permit, especially since the university was very interested in the conservation aspects of the project.  

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help out, and or send or bring equipment.

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

Sincerely, 

Mr. Michael Thomas Harbuck
