Dear Sharnelle Congratulations! The Selection Committee was very well impressed with you at the recent Selection Day and has approved your Application for a Long Term Exchange for 2009. Well done! I shall imminently be e-mailing our exchange partner in Japan to request your placement: their response may take a little while.
