Dear Alyssa Emily Walsh,
Due to your advanced knowledge of the Arabic language and deep understanding of the Egyptian culture we are notifying you of an alteration in your service requirement.

As you know, serving the U.S. government is of the utmost importance and is vital for our nation to continue to enjoy freedom and liberty. We know that you understand the value of freedom, and therefore we know that you will not object to this minor adjustment after you graduate.

We are formally informing you that you will be stationed in Cairo, Egypt for a total of one year following your graduation to further the American cause in the region.

We thank you very much for your patriotism.

Yours truly,

The U.S. Government

Only $5.75 to see a movie? Good gracious. I need to find this place where movies don't cost 16 francs. Maybe I'll go there in 4 weeks. OKAY!
