I was accepted from a highly selective pool of international applicants to
attend the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) Asia
Conference from August 16 to August 20, 2018, at Sunway University in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Acceptance to attend the HPAIR conference represents an extraordinary accomplishment deserving of support and recognition. Hence,  this letter is in support and appreciation of your financial assistance to help defray the costs of my attendance of our conference.
HPAIR is an internationally-recognized student-run organization at Harvard College, offering a forum of exchange to facilitate discussion of the most important economic, political, and social issues relevant to the Asia-Pacific region. Past speakers at the conferences include former President of the Republic of Korea and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Kim Dae-Jung, Governor General of Australia Peter Hollingworth, Secretary
General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, President of Singapore S.R. Nathan, former United States Ambassador to Japan John Thomas Schieffer, and former President of Goldman Sachs Philip Murphy.
The six hundred (600) delegates who will attend HPAIR’s Asia Conference are students of the highest caliber. However, as a non-profit organization, HPAIR is unable to provide financial aid to all of the highly talented delegates. Your financial assistance would help to cover my registration fees, flight tickets, and housing costs. My attendance at HPAIR's conference will greatly benefit our international dialogue on issues relevant to Asian and international relations. It will be an opportunity forme to develop crucial professional skills and will expand my understanding of key developments in international affairs.
