Letter One Dear Sir, I am writing to you in the
hope of obtaining a one - year grant to do some research work in your
department. I am an associate professor in the Department of
History in the Central University for Nationalities. In addition to research
work, I also offer courses in ethnology (民族学) and sociology. Recently I
have finished a book on the history of the Jews in China, which is to be
published by the New World Press in the coming year. Enclosed
please find three letters of recommendation and my resume. Thank
you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely yours,
Luo
