Dear Charlene:

This letter is written on behalf of FLOR PEREZ MARTINEZ, who is a research assistant with the San Diego State University Foundation in San Diego. Ms. Perez has been employed by the San Diego State University Foundation since August 25, 2003. She is a research assistant in the Visualab, my lab at San Diego State University.

Her salary is $577 per month. In addition, I have awarded her free room-and-board at my home, to help her with her expenses while visiting the United States for academic study. Room-and-board in San Diego amounts to $600. Therefore, her total income is $1177 per month, or $14,124 per year.

Sincerely yours,

Victor M. Ponce
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
