 Dear Loai,

I am organizing a couple of events tomorrow November 28 to which I would
like to invite you and all Lebanese students at MIT.

Presidential candidate Chibli Mallat will be giving a public talk about
democratization in the Middle East from 12:30 pm to 2 pm, and then from 2 pm
to 3 pm he will be meeting informally with the Lebanese students. Details

I would be most grateful if you could forward this announcements to Lebanese

Best regards,

Ibrahim
