<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unto the populous of Ponte Alto I offer warm
greetings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I apologize for my absence from society activities
fo late, but modern needs have obligated me to take the time to concentrate on
my studies and my family. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fortunately, however, I find myself in a position
to re-enter the activity and the people I love. To that end I am planing on
attending Chalice of the Sun God with my family. My beautiful wife, however, is
new to participating and I humbly request the assistance of the populous in
welcoming her. Since I have met many of the members, I have no doubt that she
will be greeted with the same warmth I was. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> In the coming weeks I will try to attend
weekly activities as my modern schedule permits, and will, hopefully have my
family with me. I look forward to introducing them to you all and to
becoming reaquainted with my new friends. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Until good fortune returns me to your company, I
remain:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yours in Service,</FONT></DIV>
