Malam Tijani- thanks for your email. Sounds like a great conference but too far of a commute for me from LA!

Ina gida? Ina lahiya? How's Lois?

I hope all is well!

Sai an jima,

We miss you back here - next time you’re back, look us up! HOpe all is going well. Today is Laraba’s birthday! Mine is on Monday!

Wish you could be with us for this event. Lois and I are doing great. Putting on this event is as close as a man can come to having a baby! It’s a lot of work but we have many helping.

Keep in touch,

Malam Tijani

Dear John,

Thank you for circulating the event! Normally, by then, you will have received your ticket. Sani Mahamadou told me that he would take care of that - I am in contact with him, so feel free to reach out if there any issue. The keynote address will occur on April 3, at 4pm, in the Forum of Harvard Kennedy School (79 JFK Street, Cambridge, MA 02138). 

I will also email you the schedule of the panels to take place on April 4.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks!

Dear William:

Thank you very much. I have forwarded your announcement to groups of students and also to former Peace Corps volunteers who may be interested.

For my own ticket, do I simply have to present myself at the door and give my name? Please advise.

We are looking forward to your event.

Regards,

John Hutchison

Dear Professor,

It was nice to meet with you last time with Mr. Rilla. As promised, I am sending below more information about the Conference. A ticket has already been earmarked for you as one of Niger's special guests.

Please, you would be very kind to transfer the message below to your students, and encourage them to attend. There are even group discounts. 

I look forward to meeting with all of you there.

Thanks a lot!
