Dear Professor Chomsky,
Yours has been an incalculable contribution to the body of moral, political, scientific, and civil thought in the twentieth century. It would be impossible to overstate the importance of the intellectually rigorous, characteristically honest, and powerfully provocative dialogue that your body of work has created, to say nothing of what I have personally gained from reading your work. It is my sincerest hope that I will be able to continue in your tradition. I wish you all the best. Thank you.
