Dear Mr. Brock,

In researching ways in which people have made their marks in the field of physics, I cannot tell you how many times I have encountered your name in journals, newspaper articles, and textbooks. Your contribution has been truly stunning.

Now that I find myself in the position of seeking my own fate in the field, I wanted to ask if you could offer fifteen minutes of your time to discuss ways in which a neophyte such as myself can best forge a path of his own. I am a senior at M.I.T. specializing in the Acceleration Norms of Random Ratio Quantum Particles. I will follow this letter with a call to the Institute to see if I can schedule an appointment. It would be an honor to speak to you.

Very truly yours,


Martin Kalinsky
