Letter to the Editor:

Glad To Read Shekpendeh

Dear Editor,

I’m glad that Shekpendeh Newspaper is finally out in the streets of Freetown and beyond. I was happy to get a copy from the vendors at the Post Office on Monday 4^th July 2016 when the maiden edition came out.

The stories are fantastic. I read through the edition page by page with great appetite. I like the way you guys wrote on issues of human right and freedom. I hope to read your next edition.

Yours sincerely,

 Yusufu Bangura.

Keep It Up!

Dear Sir,

Please allow me space in your well designed newspaper. I read your first edition on Monday 4^th July and I hope to continue reading your paper.

I’m really impressed with the amount of professionalism you guys displayed in writing your stories. Most of the stories I read were well balanced and well written. Keep on the good work. I wish you good luck in your endeavors.

Yours sincerely,

Thanks For The Publication

Dear Editor,

I’m kindly asking you to publish my letter in your new letter column. I’m the son of the late contestant for the position of Section Chief in Kasserrie, Samu Chiefdom, Kambia District.

I really want to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to the management and staff of the Shekpendeh Newspaper for publishing an article about my late father. I am happy that you have made my voice to be heard and informed the public how I lost my father in a Section Chief contest.

I have trust and confidence that Shekpendeh has come to speak for the voiceless and the marginalized in society.

I still want to use this medium to appeal to the authorities to look into the Kassirie Section Chief election and come out with the truth.

The circumstances that led to the death of my father should be investigated. Why has taken this long for the result of the election to be announced?

Yours sincerely,

Patrick Bangura

Thank God For His Release

Dear Editor,

Please allow me space in your newly published newspaper to express my joy when I heard news about the release of the Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Retired Major General Nelson Williams. I want to thank the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for securing the release of the diplomat.

I also want to thank our government for not relenting in the struggle to free the captive from the kidnappers.

Thank God he came back alive. I wish his family well for their courage they displayed. It was indeed a very difficult moment in their lives. I’m happy for his release.

Yours sincerely,

 AIG Memuna Must Tender Her Apology To Rastas!

Dear Editor,

I wish you will allow me space to vent out my anger and dissatisfaction over AIG Memuna’s insult against Rastas. An insult against an individual Rasta is tantamount to an insult against the entire Rasta family worldwide.

I’m a Rasta. A true Rasta and nothing can stop me from being proud to be one. I believe in equal right and justice.

I wish the AIG will swallow her pride and go down her knees and apologize for referring to Rastas as indecent people. Her statement against the Rastas will continue to cast a dark shadow in her life till she breaks the yoke of the Rastas on her.

Rastas are forgiving people. We don’t nurse grudges against a fellow brethren because we are all one irrespective of position or status in society. I hope to see her one day apologizing for her deeds. Rastas and people carrying dreadlocks generally are quite united and decent people.

Yours sincerely,

The first edition was a mega edition. I hope the next will be an explosive mega edition of the week. Trust! I love it. So keep it up. I wish you all the best.

Yours sincerely,
