Dear Italian Embassy in Addis Ababa, hopefully this message finds you well. My name is Shimelis Gebreab Abebe, and I am a Lecturer and Chief Technical Assistance at Wollo University, Kombolcha Institute of Technology in Ethiopia. I am currently pursuing a fellowship program at Skolkovo Institute of Technology (Skoltech) in Moscow and plan to return to Ethiopia on September 28th. I have been accepted into the Master's program at the University of Naples Federico II, and my classes are scheduled to begin on October 1st. Due to this tight timeline, I am requesting a visa appointment as soon as possible upon my return to Ethiopia, preferably by October 2nd. I have attached the necessary supporting documents, including my DOV and other relevant information.
