- Dear Karim,
How are you doing? I can see from all the things that you´re involved within just in telecentre.org that you must be quite busy!
I´m trying to write to your UNDP address to check something with you, but it sends rejection messages. Is there another email address I can reach you at?
Shokram, my friend!
