<br><br>Hi Dr. Franklin,<br>
<br>
I'm glad all is well in Turkey. The reason I am writing is to ask for<br>
a favor. I am assisting my mother in finding a school for the Deputy<br>
Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tan Sri Muyhiddin to visit in Columbus on<br>
the 11th of November. He will be here in to visit Ohio University to<br>
officiate the opening of the Malaysian Education Outreach event, which<br>
is sponsored by the Center for International Studies. He will also be<br>
in the Columbus area from November 9th to the 11th.<br>
<br>
Tan Sri Muyhiddin, in addition to holding the office of Deputy Prime<br>
Minister, also holds the portfolio of Education Minister of Malaysia.<br>
In this capacity as Education Minister, he has expressed a wish to<br>
visit a school or schools in the Columbus area that excel in academics<br>
and innovation. This is part of Malaysia’s<br>
efforts towards globalization, a project in which practices that are<br>
effective and beneficial throughout the world is inspected, evaluated,<br>
and imported into the Malaysian education system.<br>
<br>
Tan Sri Muyhiddin, the Center for International Studies, the Tun Abdul<br>
Razak Chair, and lastly, I, would be extremely grateful if you could<br>
suggest a school or schools in the Columbus area that you think would<br>
be of interest to the Deputy Prime Minister, and whose practices and<br>
philosophies would be beneficial to Malaysia.<br>
<br>
I realize that the 11th of November is Veteran's day, but if you know<br>
of any schools that may be open on that day, please let me know. Can<br>
you also forward this email to the COE or our programs listerv?<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
