Foreign Exchange Student Needs New Home

Dear Dr. Brady and Ms. Shuffett,

My name is Sarah Crockett and I work for Forte International a non-profit exchange association based in Washington, DC. I am emailing you with a little bit of a strange question. Currently we have a boy from China, Wen Zhang who is studying at Gar-Field HS for the school year. We just found out that his host dad is being transferred out of town so we are looking for a new host family for him. He will be in the US for the school year, however at this point we are looking for any family who is interested even if it's just as a more short term hosting experience.

I thought that as the President & Vice-President you might be able to help spread the word about Wen and the possibility of finding him a family to other families and individuals in the Woodbridge Music Club. Of course I would be happy to speak with you more and I can send you more information as well, but I just wanted to send you a quick email to begin with. So, feel free to call or email with any questions and as I said I would love to speak with you further. My phone number is 202-628-8226 and our toll-free number is 1-888-893-6783. Again, I know this is a strange request, so I thank you for any help or guidance you may be able to offer. I hope you have a great day and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Sarah Crockett
