Nkeze Julius to me
show details 1:01 PM (7 hours ago)



Dear Mr Barkhouse,
Thank you very much for the link to the Geo-
mentoring page. I must say that it is a wonderful
innovation from SEG. The blog provides a great
opportunity for us in Africa to learn of the
opportunities in the science of Geophysics. 

This knowledge is indispensable in galvanizing our
interest in this great discipline.
Yes, you can publish my comments.
Hope to also hear from you on my thesis support
Best wishes!!
Nkeze

 Dear sir,
 Thank you very much for your mail. I'm sorry to
 let you know that my topic was changed last two weeks
 because the Cameroon Hydrocarbon Corporation said
 it could only accept one student from My University
 and we were two of us seeking for assistance.I am
 pleased to inform you that my fellow class mate is working
 there at the moment. I am now working on
 volcanology.
 I'm afraid you may have misunderstood me a
 little.
 The amount was meant to cover my entire thesis i.e
 my lodging in Yaounde, my transportation from Buea to
 yaounde and back and also other logistical
 support.
 I deeply appreciate your willingness to help me
 and may God reward you abundantly.
 Can I still send to you my present proposal on
 volcanology?
 Warm regards,

 Nkeze julius

Dear Nkeze,
Thank you for your e-mail of April 25th. Your
request for $500 US is most
unusual for students seeking data for research
purposes.

 I would be happy in assisting you prepare a
 letter to the Cameroon national
 hydrocarbon corporation requesting them to make
 available the log data for  your research.

 Can you please send an electronic copy of your
 research proposal? Can you identify, by name, the logs you are  looking for?

Best regards,

Bill

Dear Mr Barkhouse,

I am so happy to write to you. I read with
alot of interest and admiration recently, about your
efforts and contribution in the science of
geophysics from my recent copy of TLE magasin. I am a
student member of SEG (171180) from Cameroon in
Africa. I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Applied Geology at the University of Buea.

I am very encouraged by your achievements and
would like to pursue a career in geophysics. I have
chosen a topic for my MSc research -characterisation of
reservoir capacity from wireline logs.

It is the first research of its kind in my
university and I am so excited! I would like to solicit
your help financially about 500 US Dollars to
obtain logs for interpretation from the
Cameroon national hydrocarbon corporation.  I look forward to hearing from you.

My love to your family.
sincerely,

Nkeze Julius
University of Buea
Cameroon

I Want Your Opinion of The Leading Edge by Linda Holeman

Hi, this is Geo-Chat with Linda Holeman, Associate Editor of The Leading Edge.

We are sitting in her space in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Geo-Chat: Linda, it is a real pleasure to be here talking with you today.

Linda: The pleasure is all mine, I am so excited about this 'blog'.

Geo-Chat: Is there something you would like to ask of our audience?

Linda: I want to find out how the Leading Edge can better engage young professionals. What would you like to see within the magazine that we are not currently providing? What kind of content what would spark your interests?

Geo-Chat: Well Linda, why have you not previously posted to this 'blog'?

Linda: Time! One of my coworkers has just moved to Florida quite suddenly. It's one of those things younger professionals like to do -- a complete re-evaluation of their lifestyle, what they want to do and where they want to go. It took a lot of courage and I'm full of admiration and I'm a wee bit jealous, but it left a gap temporarily! Wow -- here today, then gone ....

Geo-Chat: Thank you Linda for a really great interaction. I would like to invite you, the reader, to participate and respond to Linda's questions for help regarding content for The Leading Edge. This is Geo-Chat looking forward to your exciting comments . . . to come!
