From: Monika Keri <[email protected]>

Thanks for the time-out taken to send me a wonderful message,i really must confess that i appreciate it a lot. I want to believe that you are doing pretty fine.All is well with me and my children also.I had a nice but hectic day at work.I'm at home at the moment and i'm about going to bed.I was just to busy attending to so many engagements at the office,so i could'nt check my mailbox..I want you to know that i'm a woman of integrity and honour which has a lot of respect for people.I'm assuring you that no bad thing shall befall you in my house.I will be taking my children out on our weekend time outs,cos i was unable to take them out today cos i promised to take them to the cinemas to watch a kiddies play.I hope to be able to take them tomorrow.About the visa,i want to assure you that the travel company is very reliable and competent and i also have their highest assurances that they will certainly get the visa for you once all their requests have been met.Always remember to keep in touch,i can't wait to have you around.
Have a splendid day and accept my warm regards.
Mrs.M.Keri
