Dear Narendra,
First of all, as the chairman of the student exchange program selection team, I would like to appreciate your participation in the selection program.
Based on your performance at the interview session and the essay that you delivered earlier, I am very pleased to inform you that you are nominated as one of the 8 participants from Indonesia who will study in a USA high school for 1 year.
I also would like to let you know that the competition was very severe among the participants. However, you showed us yours. Fluency in English, strong commitment to be responsible and convincing reasons why you join this program are reasons why you are nominated.
To proceed with the program I hope that you can submit your a copy of your passport, recent photographs, and medical record no later than March 29, 2012.
Congratulations.
Sincerely,
Scoot Beck
Program Chairman
