Dear Gerald,
....Our stay in kenya was the trip of our lives. With no exaggeration, this was the trip i enjoyed the most throughout my life. Everything was perfect. I need you to do something big for Simon, our guide and driver. He was the most helpful, cooperative, and well-educated person we ever dreamt of having to guide us through it. He deserves a big promotion.
