Letter of Introduction
Date, Year
This letter is to introduce ___________________________ who
is a student of cultural anthropology at Florida Gulf Coast
University. So that the students may understand different
cultures better, they have been asked to find someone from a
different culture or born in a different country who is
willing to talk about the customs in that culture. They will
ask you questions about different aspects of your cultural
background which they will write about for the class. They
will not use your name, but will be sharing with other
students about the language, kinship terms, marriage
practices, social organizations, religions, and other
aspects of your culture. The students will be asked to read
their completed descriptions back to you so you may comment
on their work.
The final descriptions of your culture and photos (with
your permission) will be displayed on the Internet for the
whole class to enjoy. You may have a copy of the material
for your own personal use as well.
If you decide to participate please fill out the consent
form for the student and the photograph release if they
photograph you. I hope you will enjoy the experience with
the student. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Susan E. Stans, Ph.D.
Professor
