Dear Nayaba Arinde:
Re: National Mathematics Awareness Month
Did you know that the Frederick Douglass Academy has been making curriculum changes to
ensure one the highest graduation rates amongst minorities in New York City? The Frederick
Douglass Academy recently received the Schott Award for the excellent education of African-
American males.
This April is National Mathematics Awareness month. A representative from the Frederick
Douglass Academy will be available to talk about efforts being made by the New York City
Board of Education to improve mathematics scores amongst minority students, particularly
males.
I will contact you in a few days to discuss the possibility of scheduling an appearance or
interview on this crucial education related topic. You can also contact me at your convenience at
(212) 555-5555. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
