Dear Webmaster,





Greetings from the Pohang University of Science and Technology, POSTECH.


This is to make initial contact with you and your organization in the hopes of


fostering relationships to the benefit of the world Korean scientific community


at large.





We are a research oriented university, located in Pohang, Korea. We are


highly regarded in the Asian academic community: The Best Research and


Engineering University in Asia -- Asiaweek Magazine (Hong Kong).





To give you a little background, POSTECH was initially founded and endowed


by the Pohang Iron and Steel Company, POSCO, -- currently the biggest iron


and steel company in the world. POSTECH selects only the top 300 high school


graduates in the country. POSTECH has the only synchrotron radiation source


in Korea.





We are currently offering scholarship packages to Korean-American students


of science and engineering. This would be a great opportunity for Korean-


American students to visit Korea while working on a research project. As


POSTECH has agreements with leading institutions in America, the work


performed at POSTECH would be accredited by the students' home university.


The time-length would be six months to a year.





We feel that this would be great opportunity for those Korean-American students


interested in coming to Korea and learn about their heritage, all the while earning


credits at their home university.





I would like to explain this program in more detail with you and would appreciate


any information and advice you could provide regarding Korean-American students


at Berkeley and America. I look forward to your response, and remain,





Sincerely yours,





John Ham
