"Dear Miguel-Angel Meizoso:
... I know that you bring to your profession a most substantial commitment because
the scope of your interests is broad and extensive.
As I believe academic people would say, but in your case the compliment
is truly deserve, you are pluri-disciplinary.
... With my highest esteem and my friendship.
