大象传媒

This email has just been sent to us and, it appears, every news organisation in the world. What should we do?

Mother,

Today I went to Ratna Park area in Kathmandu to buy some sweater for me and while coming back in City Bus, which was heavily crowded from Ratna Park to Bouddhanath Stupa area where I am staying, somebody opened the chain of my bag and stole all my money from my bag & I am saying all my money, COMPLETE, I had FOURTY EIGHT THOUSAND Indian Rupees (which if converted to Nepali currency would be Seventy Six Thousand Eight Hundred Nepali Rupees) in my bag, the amount I had brought with me from India, all my money I was always carrying with me in my bag, because of unsafe Guest House Rooms, I never left any money back in the room, I always carried all the money with me in my bag. Now I AM ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT MONEY, totally without money except 3000 Nepali Rupees with me in my pocket. Now I AM ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT MONEY.

I don't know what I will do now. I think my end is near.

I am crying while writing this to you. I don't know what to do, now, somebody pick pocketed my total money. Now I AM ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT MONEY.

I THINK MY END HAS COME.

I THINK THIS IS MY END.

I can put them in touch with a Nigerian financier who needs help getting a large amount of money out of the country (for a generous fee, of course).

Strange. I mean a person not recognising their own "end". Or, it would seem, what their "end" has been doing...

Today I have had the great pleasure of hearing the toughts and reflections of Tony Benn in the glorious setting of The Lady Chapel in Ely Cathedral. A man of great wisdom and humility, it made myself and my friend ponder over coffee afterwards who else is there currently in politics who can match him.HELP, as we could not come up with any names !

What should you do?

Get a 大象传媒 reporter to visit the person and conduct an interview. Also get an interview with the local police to see whether they are involved (bet they're not).

Hold on to that end and I 'll see if I've got an end over here, then we might be able to fold it up a bit more neatly.
