Dear Paul:

(1) We express our sincere thanks for your generous financial support for our GLOSAS and GUS projects through Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund.  It is our great honor and privilege to receive a gift from such a world renowned, prominent person as you, the inventor of packet-switching technology, which is the very basic technology of Internet.  We express our deepest gratitude to you and your wife, Evelyn, especially since we had received a similar gift from you before.

(2) With this, we will forge ahead further our best effort of extending the benefits of Internet with e-learning and e-healthcare to underserved people in developing countries for attaining global peace.

(3) Despite slow movements, we made steady progress on the followings this year with your encouragement;
