[Kelvin & Henri <kachie-hakit@account-pro.com>]

Dear Chunfat,
I like your spirit, and I only hope for a brighter future for all Hakkas,
wherever they may live. Please let us know if you will be sending a paper
or attending the Hakka conference in December.

Dr. Keith Lowe can be contacted directly at hakka@home.com
Sincerely,
Henrietta.
