Dear Mr. Williams:
We are pleased to submit the enclosed proposal and ancillary documents for consideration by the ABC Research Foundation and its Scientific Advisory Committee. The funds, if awarded, will be used solely to further the research efforts of our two cooperating laboratories. In any event, we are flattered to have been chosen as candidates for this award, and we look forward to learning of your final decision.
Sincerely,
J. Michael Bishop, M.D.
Harold E. Varmus, M.D.
