Mr. Rydhan–
I would like to ask for a little of your time to speak to our students here in downtown San Jose. I can give you all the particulars of the class, but it requires a lengthy e-mail. If you could respond to me at the above campus address, I will explain my request in detail.
Thanks,
Ann Sarrafzadeh
