Voicemail From Sylvie Mortimer

September 4, 2002 (3:52 p.m.)

Hi. This message is for Jason Pearce. This is Sylvie Mortimer [Office of Placement, Business Desk] from the Peace Corps calling back. I talked to you yesterday. My extension is (202) 692-1854. You can also dial the 800 number, extension 1854, to reach me.

I just wanted to let you know that I followed up a little bit with Earl [Earl Brown, Peace Corps Guyana Country Director] and with Rita [Rita Jimenez, Country Desk Officer, South America Desk] and got more of the whole story. So I just wanted to talk with you about it and let you know what your options are at this point, which is basically just like any other early termination.

You have to wait one year before reapplying to the Peace Corps, and to do that, you have to go through a recruiting office. And you will also have to get a reference from someone in Guyana. We have all of the other documentation of what happened in the file.

So feel free to give me a call back if you have questions about this. But this is defiantly our policy and I wanted to let you know as soon as possible so you didn't have your hopes up of being re-invited somewhere else very soon.

So feel free to give me a call if you have any questions. Bye bye.
