Editor,

I would be very grateful if you can kindly give me some space in your newspaper, as I would like to congratulate His Excellency, President Dr Alh Yahya A.J.J Jammeh, for the last Saturday game between The Gambia and Algeria. The president, of course, does not leave any development behind. And it follows that sports is very important and everyone knows that Gambia is a tourist destination.

Indeed many people do hear of the Gambia or know were the Gambia is located but, I think if we qualify for the 2010 world cup as we did during the under 17 world cup and under 21 world cup finals, I think that will be the time for the whole world to know The Gambia more and were The Gambia is located. I call on all Gambians to pray for His Excellency because he is the number one supporter of Gambian football. Meanwhile, I wish the boys all the best. Forward with the Gambia.
