PLEASE CAN YOU HELP. Time in Britain: 10.10am 17/9/99

From Mike Carrick, in Bromsgrove, near Birmingham England

Ebrima Jobe, a student in The Gambia is trying to start a course at GTTI. He has been promised sponsorship by the following staff of North Bromsgrove High School, England:

David Guy - Deputy Head

Mike Hendley - former Deputy Head - Fund administrator

Janet Jukes - former Deputy Head

The amount needed is D7,250. For some reason the payment has not been received and Ebrima cannot start the course. Mike Hendley is the fund administrator and he is away until 23 September. Please can somebody in The Gambia contact GTTI and say that so long as they have identified that it is the correct Ebrima, the problem is a genuine one, and we would request them to allow him to start the course as soon as possible. I have spoken to Kevin Peck who assures me that the sponsorship has been agreed. He says Mr Hendley will definitely make sure that GTTI receives the money. I too give my word that if there is any problem I will make sure they receive the money.

I will try to contact GTTI, but if you are in The Gambia, you may be more successful in making contact.

I have agrteed to phone Ebrima at 11.40 British time,

Thank you very much for your help. Mike Carrick
