(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).

I am awfully sorry for my belated reply.

BTW, pls let me know your exact address.

Also, pls let me know where UNAMA is located.

(2) I am very glad to hear of your enthusiastic willingness to cooperate with our project.

Pls contact Alex, since he is now preparing a grant application to the
InfoDev of the World Bank to have a workshop for the feasibility study
and market survey of implementing a broadband wireless and satellite
Internet in Manaus, Amazon, Brazil for their community development
(including e-learning and telehealthcare, i.e., high, secondary and
elementary schools, libraries, hospitals, state governmental agencies, etc.).
