<p>Nepal would be a great addition to our geographic landscape within the Williams community.</p>

<p>Your presence would contribute to the global awareness for Nepalese and more importantly for the perspectives of Hinduism and Budhism.</p>

<p>We respect your leader Ram Baran Yadav.</p>

<p>Should you receive an acceptance to our historic school, we wish you our best wishes and cordial greetings.</p>

<p>Cheers!</p>

<p>how come you know who our leader is? i mean, Nepal is not a country which has made a significant impression in the global scenario…by the way, where are you from?</p>
