to bret for usa trip to mayo clinic in 2008

23^rd July 2009

To,

Mr. Bret ,

Dear Bret ,

Everything is almost ready now, the latest MRCP Scans are ready in the Dicom format.  However the earlier old reports could not be converted into Dicom format as nobody in Bombay can do it therefore Mayo Clinic has agreed to accept them in the jpg format.

We are sending in one CD ROM with a summary note prepared by our doctor.

They have asked us to give tentative date for our visit.

Keeping in view astrological considerations, as the shraadh period will end by 18^th September and Navratra will begin from 19^th September.  The earliest we could leave from Bombay could by 19^th or 20^th September and as the journey would be very long.  We would like Richa to take rest in London hence we would like to fly via London break the journey for 2 days then go to America and then again break the journey for 2 days before we can reach the Mayo Clinic because most probably I think we will have to reach New York and then again break the journey for 1 or 2 days and then from New York go to Mayo Clinic.

Will it be convenient for you to join us for this journey as we cannot make it without you?

Hence only with your presence and support we can do this.  Therefore will it be possible for you and Govind Maa to accompany us in this journey.

The dates would be between 19^th or 20^th of September for departure from Mumbai.

We don’t want you to also to travel during the shraadh period therefore maybe we will have a meeting with you or a conference call before the shraadh.  Then if it is convenient yourself and Govind Maa could reach Bombay on the 19^th itself and then all could leave for America on the 20^thmaybe after 24 hours or 36 hours via London .

Kindly let me know your convenient dates etc. so that we can make all your travel arrangements right from Tirumulai to Bombay and then from Bombay to America and back.

Yours affectionately,

Ashish.
