Dear Assoc. Prof. Chua,

I hope this letter finds you well.

The Literary Studies Conference will hold its 11th LSC Conference titled Geopolitics and
Literature: Reimagining the Past, Present, and Future on October 3 to 4, 2023 at the Universitas
Sanata Dharma, Yogjakarta, Indonesia. An abstract that I have submitted for the conference got
accepted and I have registered to present the full paper on-site, along with three other members
of the research center.

In line with this paper acceptance, I would like to ask your good office for a per diem allowance
for any possible expenses as I move around the city. Whatever amount designated to the location
of the conference will be much appreciated and will be very helpful. I have attached a copy of
the acceptance letter for your reference.

Thank you and I am hoping for your most favorable response.

Sincerely,

Asst. Prof. Paul A. Castillo
