I am forwarding to you herewith an application for a medical research
grant which we have received from Professor F, Jacob of the Department of
Microbial Genetics of the Pasteur Institute, Paris. In view of your
knowledge and experience in this field of research, I should like to ask
for your assistance in reviewing Professor Jacob's application.

Your review should cover such points as the scientific interest of
the project, the ability of the investigator, the adequacy and soundness
of the planning, of the techniques to be employed and of the resources
available, the reasonableness of the costs and the extent to which, in
your opinion, the project merits WHO's support.

I must emphasize that this matter is confidential and request you
to return to us with your reply the attached application form.

If you are able to assist us in this way, a token payment of $25.00
to cover any expenses incurred will be made to you.

I should be grateful to you for your early reply.
