To the editor of the Highland Local Times,

I am writing in response to your request for nominations of individuals that have

made significant contributions to our home of Highland. The person I would like

to nominate is Doctor Alan Charlsby. Allow me to highlight why I believe he is

deserving of this award.

I had the pleasure of meeting Doctor Charlsby during our preliminary medical

studies 30 years ago and we have remained professional colleagues since.

Doctor Charlsby, currently heading the medical studies department of Highland

Medical School, is a model citizen whose life has been devoted to hard work,

perseverance and charity. Despite being offered higher paying positions in larger

cities, he has committed his life to education and has helped our communitys

young scholars achieve excellence in their medical studies. Today, Highland

Medical School is considered among the best institutions for medicine in the

country, and I do not believe this would have been possible without the efforts

of Doctor Charlsby.

As you can see, Doctor Alan Charlsby has brought both prestige and opportunity

to our Highland community. I hope you agree that he is the right choice to

receive your award.

Good luck with the selection process.

Izadi
