On behalf of the National Science Foundation, I would like to be the first to congratulate you on the award of your grant for field research in the Basin of Mexico. Your funding is effective immediately, and is good for one calendar year from this date. Your proposal, "A Study of Changing Settlement Patterns Through Time in the Basin of Mexico," received high marks from all of the reviewers on both clarity of thought and the necessity of your proposed research. You have accordingly been granted the full $50,000 requested. As always, a complete report of your methods and findings is due within six (6) months of the completion of the fieldwork. Good Luck and Congratulations again.
