Dear Sir/Madam,

It is our great pleasure to inform you that you have successfully passed the 2nd stage of the screening process for the 2008 JET Programme year and are now on the final short-list for ALT candidates. You are now scheduled for placement in a Contracting Organisation, which is possible in almost all cases.

After reading the NOTES enclosed herewith, you are requested to confirm your acceptance (or non-acceptance) of the short-list candidacy by returning the enclosed REPLY FORM with your CERTIFICATE OF HEALTH no later than 25 April 2008, and your CRIMINAL RECORD (verifying no offences) no later than 30 June 2008, after which placement in a Contracting Organisation will proceed. Please be sure that if the REPLY FORM is not submitted by the deadline, it may be considered without warning that you have turned down your candidacy for the 2008 JET Programme.

In May, after a Contracting Organisation has been selected, you will be informed of the final selection result with the name of the prefecture or designated city to which you are assigned. Every effort will be made to satisfy your posting preferences for placement. However, because of the limited number of positions available in each area, please understand that in many cases this will not always be possible.

If you do not have any driver's licence and intend to drive a car in Japan, please obtain one in your country before leaving for Japan.

Sincerely yours
