Dear Dr. Kouymjian:

            Just a short note to thank you for your good letter and also for sending me Alice K Barterís  Saroyanís Armenians, an Anthology. It was very kind and generous of you and I do appreciate it. You have always been most kind and generous though the years and I appreciate it and am most grateful for it.
            Iím very proud of all that you have done and are doing for all the Armenians everywhere, and not only at CSUF. May God watch over you and bless you for all that you do . You and the Armenian Studies Program at CSU Fresno have my best wishes. Again thank you for your gift, Dr. Kouymjian!

Dear Editor:

            I have been receiving your newspaper for a long while and enjoy it a lot. The address that you send it to is correct despite recent notions on my envelope to the contrary, probably scribbled on by the Singaporian Post Office.
The reason I am writing you is to seek the assistance of your paper in finding a correspondent in Armenia. I have written to all those names that appeared  in your last edition received in Australia. However please note that I have written to a myriad of people but not one of my letter received a reply.
            I write on behalf of a benevolent group that normally send parcels of goods, toys, school items, books to people who have means and poor and have been doing so since 1980. I want to do the same for those in Armenia, Nagorno-Karabagh, and the Georgian region of Akhalkalak which is mainly inhabited by Armenians of little means. A sample of the letter send recently is attached for your perusal. Please refer to the highlighted area which briefly describes the manner of our operation. Please diffuse this letter or its meaning in your next edition, together with my name and address for any correspondent to contact me regarding the above. May be you also have a way or mean to introduce us to correspondents in Armenia? We seek your assistance in this respect. A final point: Is there anybody out there who has written to Armenia by mail and whose letter has actually gone through? I am willing to bet that apart from phoning or occasional fax nothing goes through.
With all my sincere gratitude and thanks, I remain,

Yours sincerely,
