Dear Phil, Keith, Sarah and Tim,

I am being considered for an Honorary Professorship at UEA -- see
attached for details. This requires me sending in my CV, a biosketch,
and information about my UEA collaborations in recent years -- also
attached. I'm sending all this to you because I have mentioned your
names in this documentation.

For interest, I had to give three referees so I chose Brian Hoskins, Paul
Crutzen and Ben.

I guess this is all confidential.

Best wishes,
Tom.

Dear Chris,

Thanks for this. 'Honorary Professor' would be perfect.

Enclosed is a brief bio and my CV.

Best wishes,
Tom.
