Dear Samuel-san,

Konnichiwa! Ogenki desuka?
I’ve talked to Niitsu-san from Documentary Japan who said all their work in Uganda was done smoothly because of you!. Especially they really appreciate that the second day of gorilla trekking, they could trek and had filming smoothly thanks to your negotiation with senior warden.Maekawa-san appreciated you and said everyone was always in good mood because of you. He called you Sam-chan??

Anyway everything was done perfectly. Hontou ni arigatou gozaimashita.

I’ll try to send more Japanese to Uganda.

Thank you SO INCREDIBLY much for doing a phenomenal job of coordinating our trip and taking such good care of me, Deborah and Carly while we visited Rwanda and Uganda. Your attention to detail, caring and checking in on us and coordination of multiple site visits all over the map was deeply appreciated by me. We LOVED having Robert as our driver/guide. He is a lovely person, kind, flexible, funny and good company! You do a super job and I hope you will feel free to use me as a reference at any time for BIC Tours. I hope that when you come to the states in the future I can return the favor of hosting you as warmly as you hosted us. Thank you also for the beautiful photo frame which will always remind me of you.

With all my very best to you and your family,

Dear Jackson and Samuel,

Many greetings and WEBELE NYOH (I’m sure I have the spelling wrong and anyway it is not your first language — sorry) for your great work and also your support of my recent trip to Uganda. I am writing this from the Johannesburg airport after a VERY SHORT night’s sleep near Entebbe, but everything worked out well (including a delicious dinner last night at the BOMA at no extra charge — thank you Samuel!) All the logistics on my trip were first-class, as usual, and very much appreciated. Thanks again to Robert, as well.

Have a wonderful Christmas — you and your families.

I hope to see you BOTH in 2008 —

Take care,
