A Note of Request April 22, 2010 Dear Professor Hu, I wonder if it is possible for me to get your lecture handout on “American Literature”. I missed the first half of the lecture, and failed to get the handout due to a minor accident on my way to the lecture. And your lecture is really instructive for my English study. If it is possible, would you please email it to the address: zhang123@ or call me at 123456678 and I will go to fetch it. Heartfelt thanks.
