From ICFAI Dear Sir, We find the article titled "Economy of Sri Lanka " quite useful and thus we would like to incorporate it in our forthcoming executive reference book on "Sri Lankan Economy" Hence we request you to permit us to publish the above referred article in our journal book. Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI) is a non-profitable organization established to impart quality education in management and finance. Our publication wing "ICFAI Books" is publishing various digest journals/magazines and executive reference books for use of student of our institution for the purpose of academic discussion, study and research, besides application in practical functioning. It is basically a wing of our academic institution, meant for publishing to cater to the educative needs of students and staff. However journals/books are priced to recover the cost of editing, printing and distribution and not for making profits. Any money that eventually earned, if any, over and above the costs would be naturally included into the publication/academic pool for the above referred objectives only. Besides generating original articles and books, we are deliberately providing enough fields for accommodating plurality of views and multiplicity of ideas for the benefit of learning and free flow of different thought on a variety of topics. Hence, we seek your permission for publishing the above-mentioned article in our forthcoming book on "Sri Lankan Economy" and expect continued cooperation for spread of knowledge. We will acknowledge the source with due respect/as per your suggestion. We would be glad if you can send us an early reply as we have a fast approaching deadline.
