Re:

Dear Jeffrey,

Thank you very, very mu=h for your email. I have been thinking about you for the past week, but I =ave honestly not wanted to disturb you as you have been very kind and gene=ous with your time this autumn.

First of all, I hope that you ar= well wherever in the world you are!

I am sincerely and very ver= sorry that you think that I was un-polite when we last met. I asked the q=estion to show my interest for Reid Hoffman and his background — N=T to be shameless, bold, and with no other intention than to show him that=l was interested. I felt that it was too egoistic of me to sit there and o=ly speak about my trip to Zimbabwe and myself. May I kindly ask, in this p=rticular situation; what would you have advised me to talk about? What que=tions would have been fine to ask? I must note, however, that it was such = privilege to meet you again and Reid Hoffman that morning.

= went to the 8th of December as planned but a problem arose. I had= prior to departure, had meetings with the person responsible for visas at= . I had been told that all my papers were in order. However, I had =ot been advised that I needed an American social security number to work f=r them (I have been able to use my one for five years). ac=nowledge that it was not my fault (as I had made sure that I fulfilled the=r requirements) but that I could not start to work until I have an America= social security number. As it takes about 2 - 6 weeks to get one, I had t= return home to (as it is too expensive to be in NY without a salar=). I will return to NYC again after Christmas (probable before New Y=ars Eve). Last week I got another possibility from an investor in NYC.

Jeffrey; I cannot enough articulate how sorry I am that my behavior =ame across as un-

polite.

I also wanted to wish you a fanta=tic Christmas; may it be filled with much joy. With warmest and =est regards,

hows the job, ? when y=u came to give me your kind gift. you did it again. 4P=AO you asked a friend of mine to tell you how he got started. ? ? ? a pers=nal quesiton to someone you don't know, .. he could not p=litely refuse as he is my guest. it was once again,40=AO focused on what you wanted, no consideration. no awareness. =1 m sorrry i had to ask you to leave. but. . . , im not sure h=w to get my point across.

sit and see if someone asks you a question.=C24> you can respond with an answer. , see what they want to =now. not what you want. sorry to hear about =our ss card

Dear Jeffrey,

T=ank you very much for your quick reply and formost for your advice. As alw=ys, I highly appreciate it, and I will learn from it.

Once=again, I am sincerely sorry for my behavior and I wish you a nice Christma= celebration! Many warm regards,

Dear Jeffrey,

I hope that everything is w=ll and that you had a wonderful Christmas.

I am w=iting just to wish you a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2015! May the =ew Year be a good one for you and for your loved once.

I want you to know that the discussions and the email communica=ions we have had during this past year has meant much to me. I feel immens=ly honored and privileged just to be able to email you, and I cannot enoug= say thank you for your time and engagement and I do take your advice seri=usly. Indeed, two of my strongest memories from 2014 were when you wrote t= me that you wanted to pay the money for me to go somewhere in the world a=d when I actually landed in Harare. Traveling to Zimbabwe was a dream comi=g true. THANK YOU Jeffrey.

Once again ..804k I want to wish you all the best for 2015! Many kind regard=,

Dear Jeffrey,

I passed by your street yesterday, I of course=thought about you, and I just wanted to reach out to say 'hello4)=8044. How are you? I really hope that you are well and that 2015 has star=ed out well for you. Many warm regards (from an ice cold NYC),</=iv>

Dear Jeffrey,
