[Nfbf-l] 2010 Student Scholarship Application

Sat Jan 23 03:43:04 UTC 2010

Dear Rachel,
It is much more convenient for me and the rest of the scholarship committee
to have instant access to the applications and the letters of reference via
e-mail as word attachments. Of course, I would like the letters of
recommendation to be from the individual who is recommending you along with
his/her contact information. An electronic transcript will be okay but I
would also like a mailed copy of that. 

If you have further questions just write again or call. 

Have a terrific weekend. 

Kathy

Hi Kathy. I just wanted to makke sure that you do in fact want the
application along with all documents including transcripts and letters sent
by e-mail and not by mail.
Thanks,
Rachel
