To Whom it may Concern,

WSP Environmental (Pty) Ltd (WSP) is running an Internship Programme for prospective students from various universities over June/July 2014 (for approximately two weeks) and again in December/January 2014/2015 (approximately a month to a month and a half in length). I obtained your contact details from a colleague of mine (Odelia Pillay) who ran the internship programme during the 2013 period. I have been provided the opportunity to manage the internship programme for 2014 and as such would really appreciate your assistance in ensuring students at the University of the Witwatersrand are aware of this opportunity.

WSP is looking for an undergraduate or honours student who is involved in one or more of the following fields of study:
*                    Biochemistry;
*                    Environmental;
*                    Geoscience;
*                    Hydrology;
*                    Ecology;
*                    Earth Science; and
*                    Geology.

The student who successfully applies for the internship (i.e. passes the interview and completes the application form to a satisfactory level) will be invited to join our Johannesburg (Bryanston) office for the periods mentioned above. The student will begin with a two week period in June/July 2014 and will subsequently be considered for the December 2014/January 2015 internship programme (involvement of the same student over the December 2014/2015 period is not guaranteed and will be determined based on performance).

My request for assistance includes the following:
*             Please send me a list of the top 15 candidates (with student contact details) - I would like to send each student a personal invitation to apply for the Internship position;
*             WSP is in the process of developing an awareness poster regarding the possible internship position which I need erected at a conspicuous location within the faculty; and
*             Your support during the period leading up to the internship period in case WSP identifies any further value adding activities for the student.

I look forward to your response. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards.
Jared O'Brien
