Hi Dr. Bell,

I hope all is well at LA Tech.  Given that I only have 1 TVI interview
lined up this month and my efforts to advertise via the college recruitment
sites have yielded no responses I am hoping you will forward this email and
attachment to your TVI students.  We have increased our bonuses to help
graduates pay for their tuition, as stated in the attachment. We are also
open to paying a student teacher, assuming we do not fill the position.

THANK YOU!
