<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Bahati</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Very many thanks for your graphic letter, which I
found on the same day that the BBC News on Line website (<A
href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news">www.bbc.co.uk/news</A> ) describes a leaked
report to the UN which is saying very much what NGOs etc and you and others with
whom I spoke in July-August have been saying - and to which I tried to give a
voice in the Upper House last week.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have sent your letter to the UK Minister for
Africa - with a clear request to be very careful not to disclose your or others'
identity.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks too to +Enoch - some of us in each House of
Parliament are trying to make just these kind of points to our
Government.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With my prayers and my best wishes</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>+Michael</FONT></DIV>
