   Hi Phil, Thanks for this. Here is a support letter from Matt Collins that you can use as a
   guide on what to say. It was forwarded to me by Lowell. Cheers, Ed

    Does Lowell have any in yet?

     Hi Phil,
     I wonder if you would be willing to write a letter of support for a
     fairly massive NSF Science and Technology Center (STC) proposal that
     will be submitted in mid-April. The STC would be the Center for
     Regional Decadal Climate Projections. This is a 5-year, $25 million
     dollar, effort spearheaded by Lowell Stott (Department of Earth
     Science, University of Southern California). It is multi-institutional
     with both climate modelers and palaeoclimatologists (including me)
     involved in an effort to develop skillful climate prediction
     capability on decadal time scales. See the attached project summary
     from the pre-proposal that was was accepted by NSF for a full proposal
     to be submitted. If you are willing to write a letter of support, it
     is probably best that it be written to Lowell:
     Dr. Lowell Stott
     Department of Earth Science
     University of Southern California
     Los Angeles, CA 90089
     However, you should send the letter to me for forwarding on to Lowell.
     The letter emailed to me as a pdf with electronic signature works
     fine. Thanks for any help you can give me. I am happy to answer any
     questions you might have as well.
     Cheers,
     Ed

     Hi Phil,
     I wonder if you would be willing to write a letter of support for a fairly massive NSF
     Science and Technology Center (STC) proposal that will be submitted in mid-April. The
     STC would be the Center for Regional Decadal Climate Projections. This is a 5-year, $25
     million dollar, effort spearheaded by Lowell Stott (Department of Earth Science,
     University of Southern California). It is multi-institutional with both climate modelers
     and palaeoclimatologists (including me) involved in an effort to develop skillful
     climate prediction capability on decadal time scales. See the attached project summary
     from the pre-proposal that was was accepted by NSF for a full proposal to be submitted.
     If you are willing to write a letter of support, it is probably best that it be written
     to Lowell:
     Dr. Lowell Stott
     Department of Earth Science
     University of Southern California
     Los Angeles, CA 90089
     However, you should send the letter to me for forwarding on to Lowell. The letter
     emailed to me as a pdf with electronic signature works fine. Thanks for any help you can
