To: Jeg and All involved
Greeting
Translated by JMoe
I reply with respects – I praise you all in good health and prosperous.
I have received the card on the 11 Dec, 2008. Thank you I was so glad to receive it.
I came to know from SOE PAING that, you have setup a website for prisoners; I am so glad to hear special news.
My name is HTUN HEIN one of the ARIKHINE ethnic, age 33 years old. I was sentenced to death for drug traffic acts; I've been living here in prison over seven years now. I've to serve another forty years more to go.
For the past seven years I lived in prison nobody visited, remits and no parcel except father OLIVER until today.
No one in my family or friends can support me financially. Occasionally, I can communicate by letter with them.
Presently, I am earning by washing other prisoners clothes little money to cover some of my daily expenses….
As for me, I can not write English fluently like others. I don't have contact from other source of foreigners or any organization.
Now I'm so special to communicate with you in written Burmese, that's made me so happy and I am amazed with the thought.
I would like to thank to those who participate and help us. I wish you all to be festive and that everything is completed as you expect in year 2009. Kindly forgive me if I've mistaken.
HTUN HEIN (aka Tun Hein Arakan)
