Dear Hon. Rubio,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. My name is Cristy Yan B. Acebedo, and I am currently enrolled as a Chemical Engineering student at the Technological Institute of the Philippines - Manila. As a senior student, I am in the midst of conducting my capstone design project, which constitutes a pivotal aspect of my academic journey.

The focus of my capstone design project is to design a chemical plant, analyze and formulate strategic solutions related to the chemical industry.  To accomplish this task effectively and comprehensively, I am in dire need of accurate and up-to-date market data for various chemicals for the period spanning from 2012 to 2022.

The specific chemical products I am seeking import and export data for are as follows:

1. Propylene (Propene)
2. Ammonium Sulfate
3. Acrylamide
4. Sulfuric Acid
5. Acrolein
6. Acetonitrile

I kindly request your department's assistance in acquiring this critical data. Such information is vital to the success of my capstone project, as it will enable me to draw meaningful insights, conduct thorough analyses, and develop well-informed recommendations in the field of chemical engineering.

I understand that gathering and providing this data may require a substantial effort and cooperation from your department. I assure you that the data will be used solely for academic purposes and will not be disclosed to any third party without prior consent. Moreover, I am committed to adhering to any privacy and confidentiality protocols that your department deems necessary.

I understand that your department is instrumental in providing this valuable information, and I genuinely appreciate your time and consideration in assisting me with my capstone project.

I look forward to your positive response and remain hopeful that your department can play a significant role in the successful completion of my capstone project. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
