Sidi:

Thanks for your email.  I was away for the 4th of July holiday and came
back to the office late this afternoon.  I am glad that you and the
family are well in light of the unfolding crisis in Abijan.

We are leaving for a 10 day break to Florida with the family, except for
my eldest daughter who has a summer job.  I will contact you as soon as
I return.

Meanwhile, please take care and be safe.

Regards,

Abdoulaye
