To whom it may concern, Good day! We are Grade 10 students of Pasig City Science High School, currently working on a research paper entitled, “Water Hyacinth as a Geotextile Coated with Nanoparticles of Aluminum and Ferric Hydroxide to Prevent Soil Erosion”. In this regard, may we ask for your assistance in identifying and producing a certification for the plant samples of Eichhornia crassipes stems. May we also ask if there are other specific documents needed to make this request. Thank you. Respectfully, Sandy & Viktoria
