Letter from Alan Johnson

Our Charities Group, who used the occasion of Presentation Evening to do a spot of lobbying on behalf of African victims of HIV/AIDS. On the night, Minister of State Alan Johnson was swept away in his limo before they had time to approach him. However, undeterred, the group sent him the letter they would have presented to him along with a photo of themselves with the huge envelope they had prepared, complete with huge red ribbon. On Friday we received an appreciative letter in response, promising to take the group's argument on board. The letter included a hand written note saying how much he had enjoyed his visit back to Shimna. Alan Johnson was a good friend to Shimna before he was famous, and it's great that he has maintained his interest.
