Epstein and Co. 457 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10022-6843 Sent via email: [email protected] Dear Mr. Epstein, An imaginative combination of evolutionary, ecological and genetic approaches, including state of the art molecular genetic analysis and a strong quantitative base are the defining characteristics of The Institute of Evolution at the University of Haifa in Israel, which is led by the educated and erudite Dr. Avraham Korol. It is also one of the most successful centers for Absorption of Science in Israel; more than two thirds of our scientists and half of technical staff are "Ohm" (immigrants), mostly from the former USSR. The University of Haifa, the largest comprehensive research university in northern Israel, devoted to academic excellence and social responsibility, would like to introduce to you this dynamic philanthropic project. Your investments in funding evolution and various science research projects are well known and celebrated. You are renowned for your philanthropy, with emphasis on applied science. I am looking for partners to help maintain this important program. Becoming involved in this exciting project will allow you to continue your notable humanitarian endeavors and distinguished philanthropic efforts. I would like to extend a standing invitation to you or delegates of your foundation to visit our Institute of Evolution and its research labs to get an up close and personal impression of this unique center of scientific absorption. Your support is vital for us allowing maintaining this center of excellence in evolutionary research, extending its scientific activity and helping Jewish researchers and students to find their scientific home in Israel. I would like to thank you for the opportunity to introduce this important undertaking. Attached, please find a proposal for the program. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing your generous involvement in this project in the near future.
