Dear [Colleagues Name],

Your colleague, [Your Name] has recommended that we contact you to inform you of, and invite you to contribute to The Encyclopedia of Water, a four-volume compilation of short essays written by scientists, professors and water professionals such as yourself.

The encyclopedia, to be published in 2004 by John Wiley & Sons Publishing will consist of over 2,000 water related entries, divided into 14 categories which is sure to include your area or areas of expertise.

After the publication of the encyclopedia in 2004 each senior author receiving an entry byline will be given a $100.00 honorarium for books from John Wiley & Sons catalogues for each entry they compose.

Currently over 50% of the entries have been assigned to volunteer authors in the first five months of this project, therefore we urge you to please visit the Encyclopedia of Water web site soon to reserve one or more of the available entries or to propose your own entry titles for addition to the encyclopedia.

For more information and to register for one or more entries please visit the Encyclopedia of Water online at http://www.WileyWater.com.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Best Regards,
Dr. Jay H. Lehr
Editor in Chief
