\opening{Dear Sirs:}

This is to inform you that the letters of recommendation will be
mailed separately from the various professors.  There were some
difficulties in tracking down the particular professors I wished to
get recommendations from, so there may be some delay before you
receive the letters.  In addition, the parent information section of
the financial aid form will be filled out by my parents this week, and
should arrive in a week or so.  I am sorry for any incovenience this may cause
you.

\closing{Sincerely,}

\end{letter}
