There his wife and his small, two-year-old child are waiting for him.

I would like to apply for admission to the College of Arts and Sciences, New York University.
I am twenty, and have finished my secondary school studies in Prague, the Czech Republic. I arrived in the USA ten months ago and would like to enter your college and study economics.
I would appreciate if you could send me a catalogue and an application form for admission, and would be grateful for any additional information about the cost of tuition and of living on the campus. I also would like to know about any scholarship or other assistance available to foreign students. An addressed envelope and my resume are enclosed.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely, Jan Novak
