Dear Mr. Fonseka,

Further to our conversation last Friday, I would like to confirm the meeting we scheduled for 24th Nov. (Friday) 2.30 p.m. at your office in the World Trade centre.

At this meeting I hope to apprise you of a programme we initiated to teach English for Communication via TV, as pan of the Education Reforms.

This programme, which was designed by a Committee consisting of University Academics responsible for initiating the new GCE A'level subject "General English" from Aug. 1999, was intended to be telecast via Rupavahini as several episodes produced in a "Tele -Drama" format. These episodes were to augment the teaching of General English in the A'level classes, and were to be supplemented by the print Media as well. Several discussions to this effect were held with SLRC officials during 1999 & 2000.

Some of the Committee members will attend this meeting with me, together with officials of the Education Ministry. Their names are listed below.

I would appreciate if you could kindly invite all relevant persons from the state English & Sinhala print media as well for this meeting.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely,

;
Dr. To Nilmini Gatamanne
