Dear Ms. Lazo,

Good Day, I am Raella Elisha R. Mendez, a fourth-year architecture student from De La Salle – College of
St. Benilde, I am currently taking up Architectural Design 09 (ARCDES9), the first stage of our thesis
subject. I am currently working on my thesis proposal which focuses on architectural design intervention
towards the Environmental Rehabilitation of the Harbor Strip in Manila, Philippines. ARCDES9 further
requires us to develop our research into a feasible undertaking. In doing so, it is much needed to gather
definite information from reliable sources to back-up my study. If possible, I would like to schedule an
interview regarding how the Manila Bay affects the tourism growth rate of Manila. I am also humbly
requesting for the following information that will serve as a basis for my research:

• Demographics of the people that visit the Manila Bay walk

• Demographics of the people that visit the Manila Harbor Square

Guaranteed that all information gathered will purely be used for academic purposes and research only.
Your utmost consideration is highly appreciated.

Indicated below are my contact details for your reference:

Thank you very much for your assistance and I look forward to your positive response.

Sincerely,

RAELLA ELISHA R. MENDEZ
