Gentlemen,
I have a script that came to me in a dream. I woke up and put it in word and I would like to hear from some Re; The Haitian People and events of 1/12/10. I know no other way to contact some one who cares. I watch 4 T.V. Programs while I work at the computer. I am a retired safe commercial driver living with friends in Canada. If I could speak briefly to one of you principles, Danny Glover or Morgan Freeman. Thank You.
Sincere Regards and God Bless, especially those in need.
M. Bernard
