Dear Mr. Kim,

I will be in the States (East coast) around January 3 to 9. I could schedule a day before the third or around the 9th to meet with such groups if they are serious in supporting the North Korean flood victims. The situation is grave. A famine may occur in February/March if rice is not forthcoming there soon. I am trying to collect donations to buy rice in near buy countries at $250 a ton which will feed one person in the flood area for 74 days. I will deliver the rice personally in February and document receipt by those people through photos and videos. If these groups are ready to join my campaign and raise at least $10,000, I will stop by, give a talk, answer questions, show my videos of the November distributions, etc. Recently I've been giving one talk after another, including one in Seoul which gained extensive TV coverage but no one donated anything. It is very discouraging that the Korean community is so slow and laid back.

Best regards,

Bernard Krisher

Dear Mr. Krisher

I am writing the letter on behalf of Korean American groups in Los Angeles. They asked me to find out that you visit to California in near future. They want to have a seminar with you. So, if you plan to, please let me know. However, you should not make schedule because of that.

I am not going to be reach through the e-mail from Dec. 21 to Jan. 16. I will be in my parent house in Los Angeles (310-542-3518).

I always thank you for your help. "HAPPY HOLIDAY."

Very truly yours,

youn jae kim
