University of Kelaniya,

Kelaniya.

Honoured Madam,

Let me introduce you myself first. I was a student of Prof. Nirmal Jayasinghe at the University of Sabaragamuwa. I passed the Special Degree in English in 1999 with a Second Class Lower Division.

I am a teacher and started my teaching career in 1995 as a GELT - General EngIish Language Traning - teacher when I was a Diploma holder in English. I worked until 1999 in that capacity. I also worked as a government teacher of English for two years. After my graduation in 1999. I was appointed as an Assistant Lecturer in the Sri Lanka Institute of Advanced Technical Education - SLLATE. I was attached to the Advanced Technical Institute in Galle. Since then I have been working there as Assistant Lecturer and Head of the English Division, too.

I am interested in English literature. And I have studied under Prof Nirmal	Jayasinghe.

I have thought of following the Master's Degree in English at your University. It was Prof. Nirmal Jayasinghe, who advised me to follow the M..A. in English Literature which is of two - year duration. He further advised me to cheek it with you.

I enclose a self - addressed stamped envelope. I would be much grateful to you if you could send me particulars about the course.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

;

M - Hendawitharana.
