Kofi Annan,

Tea Kadai Thambi writes to you from Keelsevalpatti.

Always I am sending many, many petitions to the leaders in India about a very important matter. The people from the town of Melvisharam are treating us very badly because their town name is meanining above visharam and our name is meaning below chicken town. I am writing for twenty years to every Indian president and prime minister and every Tamilnadu chief minister about this serious matter. We are asking for justice. And we are never getting.

Actually, dear Annan, my name is Dharmasankara Dasan, but everybody is knowing me as the Tea Kadai Thambi. My childrens also calling me that name always. But, you will be happy, dear Annan, I am selling more Kofi than tea. Every day, thousand cups of Kofi but only hundred of tea.I know you will extremely happy I am telling you this becaue of your name. You are a great man, Annan, as great and refreshing as a good cup Kofi.

Two days before two people buying newspapers in my tea kadai talking about you. They saying that you are going retire. Why you are retiring, Annan? In India leaders never retiring and remaining powerful ever and ever. You are the leader the whole world and you are retiring? I don;t know where I can voting for you. Tell me and I will do it. Also all the peoples of Keelsevalpatti - they are always drinking Kofi and sometimews in my shop and I am propaganda for you.

Anyway, the talking peoples telling me that after you one Indian coming to your post, one Shashi Tharoor. His name sounding like my peoples from Kerala but I am telling myself now I am only belong to Keelsevalpatti. Then I am worrying. If Tharoor Ayya is supporting the Melvisharam peoples, then what will we do? They will continuing to make fun of us people from below chicken town. Some of htem even laughing that they eating the chickens above our town. I am angry and shaming but not saying anything because they drinking Kofi in my shop.

Anna, you must getting us justice. You are always helping the powerful peoples like Saddam Hussein and Izbulla. We are not powerful peoples. We are only simple peoples from below chicken town who are suffering from peoples from above visharam. People talking about you are advising many peoples from all over the world. Our Pradhamar, Manmohan SIngh will meeting you soon. Please advising him, Annan, about this matter. Please telling him that we are suffering like the innocent peoples of Iraq and other suffering countries because of others. We are really suffering.

After you are retiring, if you will coming settle down in Keelsevalpatti, you will be very happy. Even if Melvisharam peoples abusing us, we don;t care. We have our dear Annan with us. The retired leader of the whole world. I will giving you unlimited Bru Kofi. If you sometimes want tea, then I giving you Kannan Devan tea. Nothing will be better. This is better than the best. Superior to the rest.

Anyway, thank you, Annan, I am ending this letter. I am waiting your reply. Hope you are in the well.

Dharmasankara Dasan
Your tea kadai brother (younger brother)
Bye Bye
