Dear Brandon,

Congratulations!

In honor of your exemplary academic record, leadership potential and proficiency in the computer and information technology field, it is my pleasure to inform you that you have been nominated to represent Texas and Lake View High School as a participant in the National Youth Leadership Forum on Technology to be held in Silicon Valley, California from July 26 to August 4, 2004.

This summer, you will be one of a select group of high school students distinguished as one of our nation's outstanding young technology leaders of tomorrow. I’m using your e-mail address, which you provided on your SAT application, to instantly share the good news of this distinguished honor with you and your family.

You will join other exceptional rising sophomores and juniors — young men and women who share your dreams and determination — for an extraordinary time of discovery and mentorship. You will study with and learn from some of the most distinguished leaders in information technology, computers and the Internet; men and women whose vision, dedication and creativity have brought them to the pinnacle of their profession.

You will be welcomed by some of our country's most advanced and innovative computer, multimedia, Internet and other technology companies. These organizations will host interactive workshops, labs and content-rich concentrations that will allow you to explore state-of-the-art technology in detail as never before.

During ten days of in-depth examinations and first-hand experiences in a motivating and challenging environment, you will gain the advantage of a valuable head start toward the success you dream of achieving.

The National Youth Leadership Forum on Technology is educational, inspirational and motivational. You will make lasting friendships with future colleagues and see the world of computers, the Internet and information technology from a perspective unlike any other.

And most importantly, you will acquire practical hands-on experience that will enhance your ability to make the very best decisions about your career.

Brandon, please discuss this nomination with your family. It truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity I encourage you to take advantage of immediately. All registration forms must be received by the Forum no later than May 7, 2004.

The National Youth Leadership Forum on Technology is dedicated to helping prepare the most promising future leaders in computers, the Internet and information technology for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Again, my sincere congratulations. I look forward to greeting you personally this summer.
