[Viet Hung Khuat]

Dear Achan John,
If you talk with Prof. Yordphol he may remeber me as his advisee during
1998-2000 at AIT Transportation Engineering Program. I am very happy to
learn that AIT's TE can have a high quality professor like you are. 
I hope we can meet in Hanoi if you are interesting to attend the ISSOT 2004
there. Thus, I am waiting for this chance to learn more from your knowledge.
Yours sincerely,
Your coming student,
Khuat Viet Hung
