" I Chose Croatia "

Notre Dame High School in San Jose student needs help
 

Dear sir or madam:
 

Hello. My name is Jyovonne Montosa. I am 15 years old, and I live in San Jose, California. I attend Notre Dame High School in San Jose, and I am currently enrolled in a World History AP class. I have been given an assignment involving the selection of a country to create a "scrapbook" about. One of the required elements of this project is an interview with someone who lived and culture. I would greatly appreciate it if you, or someone else in your office who has been a resident of Croatia would take some time and answer the questions below. I need a reply as soon as possible please. Thank you very much for all of your help. I sincerely appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to read this, and to assist me.
Thanks again.

Sincerely,
Jyovonne Montosa
