Dear Osam,

I am writing to you from Beirut, and I want to ask whether you might be
interested to meet with me some time in the next few months. I am a student in
Damascus (2 years study completed in London) at the university there. I am
writing a book about Iraq and Afghanistan (I spent 3 months in Afghanistan last
year) and would be very much interested to talk to you about Iraq, UNHCR, and
your various writings. I leave Beirut on Sunday morning (4th September), but I
will return to Lebanon soon. My brother lives in Beirut, so I will be often in
Lebanon.

Yours,

Alex Strick
