 Dear, 


 I lament the regrettable death of our colleague Roosevelt King. 
 I have fond memories of the time we were together in Costa Rica. 


 Right now is not important differences 
 after we have had. It was a man with Defenda 
 passion and ideals and convictions that make it best for 
 Regin. 


 I hope your family will soon find consolation for such a huge loss. 


 Cheers
