Email requesting permission
Dear …,
The Social Security Department of the International Labour Office has, through its STEP Programme, developed an Internet platform on the extension of social security to disadvantaged groups: Global Extension of Social Security (GESS).
The platform aims to be a comprehensive knowledge development system based, inter alia, on an Internet application and a network of experts worldwide. One means of attaining the platform's main objective is by producing, disseminating and capitalizing on relevant knowledge among experts and people interested in social protection issues.
In this context, we hereby request your permission to add the following articles published by Elsevier to the platform's resource centre:
1) "Adverse selection in a voluntary Rural Mutual Health Care health insurance scheme in China", by H. Wang et al., April 2006.
2) "Health care in China: The role of non-government providers", by Y. Liu et al., 2006.
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/phcf/publication/Liu.Berman.Yip.2006.pdf
The articles would be accessible on the platform through links to the relevant websites listed above. All references to Elsevier and to the articles' authors would be duly stated.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Looking forward to hearing your decision soon,
[signature]
