My dear collegues,

In our line of work we often see how people try to be their own pharmacists. All too often they are a danger for their own health. Have you not met the insomniac who "solved" their problem with the hideous combination of alcohol and commercially available sleeping pills? I know I have.

I would like to research the possibilites of creating a medicine that should help out even the most hardened insomniac, working name "adysnyxine."

Unfortunately I lack a lot of things that are required for this project:

• access to a suitable laboratory;
• the required knowledge and skill;
• a research team;
• funding;

I seek out everybody who can assist me with this. My gratitute if you contact me cannot be expressed in words or on this paper.
