Dear Dr Rogers,

I got to know about your research group in Danforth through Dr Kanthi (from Sri Lanka) who has visited your lab recently. While going through the 2006 science report of Danforth I got interested in your line of work. I too am interested in transgenics that can bring a change for the better. I have more than nine years of experience in transformation work and tissue culture at both the postgraduate level and postdoctoral level. However, due to lack of sufficient research funding in Sri lanka I have been unable to make a decent contribution to the farmers. Since Danforth is a non-profit based organization I would very much relish an opportunity to make a contribution to the betterment of standard of living of the third world. if ever there's a possibility to work with your research team please be kind enough to let me know.

Thanks!

Best regards!
