CONTACTS

Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Asma Boulhout, I am a Doctoral student at the English Language Department, the University of Algiers 2 Abou El Kacem Saadallah in Algeria. I am writing to express my interest in visiting your institution. I have consulted your institution’s academic activities and published works, and I believe your guidance with be of great help to finalize my study. I am pursuing a PhD in American studies with a research theme entitled “The Representation of Russia in the American Mainstream Press”, a work that aims to explore and deconstruct the discursive construction of Russia in the press’s opinion articles. My university would fully fund my visit as this pertains to my right to benefit from an academic visit to a foreign institution to optimize my research work. I am writing to request a formal letter of invitation from you, which is required for the visa application as well as the funding application.
