I hereby write to you Your Excellency to show my appreciation for the award granted to me to pursue a degree course in Economics in Taiwan.

Indeed, I am sincerely grateful to you for gratifying the needs of Gambians, girls in particular, anytime they need you. On behalf of my family, I once again appreciate your endless support towards my education career. To them, words are small to express their gratitude. Thus, can you kindly spare me a minute of your respectful time to say 'amen' when they have hugged you with prayers. I will also want to take the opportunity to thank the Taiwanese government through you for their endless support towards the development of The Gambia and in achievement of vision twenty-twenty objective.

In conclusion, you have once again shown your humane, patriotic and visionary leadership to Gambians. I promise to do my best and to be academically competitive while in Taiwan to raise the flag of The Gambia higher and higher. Thank you! Jarama! Abaraka! Jere Jef!
