Fred, please post if you will: 
  
Dear Gotham, 
  
As you have all been aware of the T-Mobile debt I was facing and from which I have now been saved, I would like to extend an extremely heartfelt thank you from my husband and me for your correspondence with T-Mobile, which no doubt made an impact on their decision to clear me of the $7,000 phone bill I incurred after my sim card was stolen in Nairobi.    Having use George Bush's tax rebate to come to the United States to be with my family for a few weeks, I can tell you that we are extremely relieved that our financial plans of paying down our substantial educational debt will not be derailed by such a hefty phone bill.  We have learned a difficult lesson in regards to who we trust in Kenya and are not nearly as naive as we were when moved there five months ago.  
  
We would like to especially thank Dan Schaefer, Jane Present, and Fred Klein for sincerely believing that, regardless of my naivete, T-Mobile was truly wrong in insisting that we pay that bill.  We are grateful to T-Mobile for finally understanding that we were the victims of a crime and for not punishing us unjustly.  
  
We will continue to live and work in Nairobi for the next few years.  My husband finds his work to feed starving children in Kenya extremely challenging and rewarding, and I am learning a great deal about education in the developing world through my volunteer work at UNICEF.  If any of you are ever in Kenya and there is anything we can do to assist in your travel plans or be of service to you in any way, please, please, please do not hesitate to be in touch. 
  
Many, many, many thanks.  You have truly made a different in our lives. 
Lisa M. Welsien
