To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Saida Dorsey,
I am a senior at School Without Walls High School. I am working on my senior project. It is a project with four parts: a paper, product, portfolio and presentation. I am looking for ideas to begin the product portion of my project. When I researched my topic I noticed that your organization had information about the sexual assault of people with disabilities. I am asking for help with ideas for my project. Do you have any idea if someone with your organization could help me? My topic is children with disabilities and sexual assault. I am sending this message to ask for guidance in creating a project that correlates with my topic. My ideas when I began my journey with this project was to have interviews with organizations that work with children with disabilities and/or the issue of children with disabilities and sexual assault. The organizations I was going to interview are organizations that work with victims of sexual violence who are disabled.
I have contacted you asking for permission to ask you questions via telephone or email. What is a good time for me to conduct your interview please contact me as soon as possible .It is due by March 11,2010
