To whom it may concern,

The Ford Foundation's International Fellowships Program is accepting applications for our 2004 cycle, to provide funding to selected Chinese citizens with a strong sense of social commitment to study toward a Master’s or Doctor’s Degree. The deadline for submission of pre-applications is coming up soon: 15 March 2004. We anticipate that some in your network of contacts may have an interest in applying, and we hope you may be willing to tell potential applicants in your acquaintance about this competition.
