Passing on a message

Dear fellow students, I am doing a report for my Intercultural Communication graduate class and my topic includes interviewing student-age (19-35) individuals (at least 2 male and 2 female) from Africa who have lived here between two months and two years. It would be a short interview with questions relating to your home culture and how you perceive African American culture here in the U.S. I'd like to conduct the interviews this week or next. The interview would only take 20 minutes or so and I'd be happy to come to you or buy a cup of coffee or tea at a local coffee shop for taking the time to chat with me. I look forward to hearing from you soon! My phone number is 701-388-7996 or you can email me at lars4110@umn.edu Thanks for your help! Warm Regards,
Christina
