Dear Aamir,
Your words ring so true..
Sniff..
You are truly amazing
You are an artist of the highest caliber, if only had your artistic expression. I am arranging a private poetry recital , please contact me if you are interested . It would honor my group if you could chair our session...

perhaps followed by not know was a double whammy…how can that be?
