I am a professional computer programmer and a friend of Yemen. I recently visited your beautiful land and its honorable people and was very much impressed. There are few places left on this Earth that have retained such kindness to strangers. There is a simplicity and innocence and, mostly, a devotion to the One God, Allah.
I have been very fortunate to be invited to participate on Yemen’s Tourism Boards, to promote tourism to this land through my understanding of the Internet. This new technology can do much to benefit Yemen and the people and economy. But I want to do more.
I extend this offer to any business and government agency in Yemen to give my services of programming and designing web pages, e-commerce and intra-net programming in return for your kind hospitality and friendship. I wish to live as a Yemeni man and require only your safety and kindness, plus a means of arriving in Yemen from my current home in Boston (America).
I also have a friend, currently in China, who is an expert with Oracle database systems. Together we can construct almost anything your country, business or government needs to have a state-of-the-art internet presence. And we offer this to you now with friendship and peace.
I have just embraced Islam and wish to be in a land where I can devote myself to do the work of Allah, to serve people in Yemen. This is reward enough for me and for my soul.
Please let your government know of my offer. Please also write to me and allow me to offer my work for you, in the name of the Almighty. I am anxious to live in Yemen and to be one of Allah’s most loved children on Earth.
