Dear Sir or Madam,

I am honored and pleased to inform you that Student English Forum (SEF) of Institut Teknologi
Bandung (ITB) will host the 13th Indonesian Varsities English Debating (IVED) Championship 2010; a
national-scale intervarsity parliamentary debating tournament that helps to prosper sharper minds and
deeper thoughts among Indonesian youths.

This event is has been held annually since the late 90’s and by now has gained national recognition
as Indonesia’s biggest, most prestigious stage of critical thinking – an event that challenges young thinkers
to discuss about various social issues and provides the best answer for them. We challenge more than 60
teams from different varsities across the nation to exert their English prowess and perform profound
analysis regarding problems we face on a daily basis, think of solutions and standpoints, and then convey
them persuasively towards an audience, along six demanding preliminary rounds before the advance of the
top 16 teams towards the glimmering grand finale. The goal of this event is to build better future public
speakers who furnish well-thought words, think quickly at their feet, and negotiate with eloquence and
fluency – the key to achieving a body of Indonesian human resource that has better international outlook
and competitiveness.

I write here to kindly invite the participation of your institution in this grueling battle of
intelligence. The event will be hosted by Institut Teknologi Bandung, Jl. Ganeca no. 10, Bandung, held
from January 15-20, 2010. On the behalf of the organizing committee, we sincerely hope that you will join
us and make IVED 2010 a huge success.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bandung in January 2010.

December 2009,

Yours Sincerely,

Betara Nusantara Ikhairul

Convener of ITB 13th IVED, 2010
