Mr. Pa Njie, Please remember, it's apologies before explanations. You can't blame your customer for your delays/cancellations etc. The sentiment I got from your message conveyed a more defensive tone rather than an apology. You should tap yourselves on the back for operating a monopolistic business entity. I just thanked God for bringing everyone back home chi-jama.
