Dear Sirs:

I am a United States citizen now living in retirement in the Philippines with my Filipino wife. I moved
here in November 2010, but continued working for my U.S. employer, MTS Systems Corporation, until August
2011 when I officially retired. 

During the past years, I have visited the People's Republic of China several 
times for business as far back as 1980 and as recently as July 2011. I have enclosed a copy of my last P.R.C. 
Multiple Entry Visa that I had for my work. Now, it seems that my ex-employer needs my services in the P.R.C. 
again and wants me to go to Xian University to re-train their staff. 

I want to inquire whether or not I may 
apply for a new business entry visa to the People's Republic of China through your Consulate as my home now 
is in Maasin City, Southern Leyte. I have no plans to return to the United States in the near future.

I am familiar with the application process as I have completed it several times before now. I would be quite
willing to travel to Cebu with the necessary paperwork to accomplish this application.

Thank you for your kind assistance and consideration.

Rodney L. Larson
