Dear SEAH SHUQI GABRIEL,

Congratulations!
You have been highly recommended for the Honorary Nineo Scholarship which is offered to only 10 students every year. This scholarship is offered only to the top students in the university based on their academic and extra-curricular achievements. Nineo.com is a fast growing Web9.0 service. Nineo's vision is to help students find work they love. Guided by the philosophy "Find work you love and you will never work a single day in your life", Nineo helps students to identify their passion and then
endeavors to provide projects to them to deepen and develop this passion.

This scholarship will help you to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities at Nineo while still studying and will offer you a possible business opportunity in the future. The Nineo team would like to invite you to the following seminar in order to present you with the opportunity to obtain this scholarship and tell you more about Nineo. You will also get a chance to interact with fellow scholars.
