Dear Mr. Ratzka:
My name is Itziar Jiménez, I am a Spanish journalism student and I am blind. I am writing to you because I am very interested in doing some kind of traineeship abroad related to my studies of journalism during the Summer.
I have been looking for some ways of contacting with companies or organisations abroad which could help me to get my aims, but, my visual disability is a real problem. i have also contacted with the Spanish Blind Asociation (ONCE), but for them i am the first person in demanding that kind of aid so they seem to be as lost as i am.
However, they were who send me an E-Meil which was related to your institute and I thought you may be able to find a newspaper, a radio or t.v. chanel, a News Agency or a Press department in a company or organisation who could provide me the traineeship abroad that i am looking for. In addition to this e-mail, I send you my CV, just in case you need it for something. if you have any further question, please, don't hesitate in asking.
The posibility of being a trainee abroad is so important for me that I woult be terribly gratefull if you could help me.
Thank you very much beforehand, I am looking forwards to hearing from you.
Yours Sincerely,
Itziar Jiménez Berrón
