Good work mr Hassan ……
At first, I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to you Mr. H. Arouni for having been serving one of the most reputable world broadcasting media {BBC}. It is sad for me to heard that you have retired from the BBC because when I remember your good tone of communication, your educative grammatical speeches, and your well organised programmes at BBC and many other nations including yours {Sierra Leone} I ran tears of love and thinking.
But nevertheless, you should not be working forever and your good serving experiences could be a learning tools for those whose may have positions their organizations that they should be roll model that another people will learn from.
For you and all Sierra Leoneans, I pray for good health, long living happiness and fruitful contributions towards our beloved Sierra Leone, Africa and the world at large.
Best regards,
Musa Mambu Boyoh
