Dear Prof./D Hassan，

Assalam alaikum. I am a master degree candidate in the Chinese Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) and hope to further the study of Interpretation between Arabic and Chinese. Given that your excellency are an authority in this field, I would appreciate the chance to ask you a few questions about your career path and your original views in transforming these two language.

I realize that this time of year is likely a busy one for you. I am hopeful that you would be willing to speak with me over the phone or via email at some point during the next two weeks. Please let me know if you are able to talk with me and if so what method of communication would be preferable.

Thank you very much for taking your time.

Sincerely,

Hala
