e-mail to the Embassies

For those who didn't attend our meeting this afternoon, here is the e-mail we came up with. Please send it to the embassy of your choice as soon as possible.

Dear Sir/Madam,

We are a group of five students from Portugal's Universidade Nova de Lisboa doing research on Afghanistan.
We are writing to request your help on a university project about Afghanistan. We aim to establish an accurate contrast between what is said by the western media about Afghanistan and its people and how real Afghans feel about some of those matters.
We understand that your busy schedule may not allow you to spend a lot of time taking care of our humble request, but we only ask for five minutes of your attention to answer a couple of questions. Should you be available and willing to help us, could you please give us an insight on the issues addressed by the following questions?
-How would you describe Afghanistan's economy at the present moment?
-How accurate is the image of Afghanistan forecasted by the international media?
-Which are the main difficulties an Afghan finds when living in a western country?
-Which major differences would you identify?
Once again, thank you very much for your time and help.
We look forward to hearing from you.

yours respectfully, the undersigned
