I write this note to once again thank you for providing an opportunity to compete in the competition, for publishing my story as well as all the prize-winning stories. Also for the ceremony which brought me great pride and pleasure. I must congratulate you on the excellent choice of music entertainment and guest speaker whose talk I found to be absolutely fascinating.

The whole event was terrific (as we South Africans would say).

I well understand that going through all the stories and choosing the winners must have been no easy task and very much appreciate.

Keep up the wonderful work you do in the ESRA organization.
