“Dear Daniel,Iam happy that you and your family recovered. I whish you a lot of success for your company for Cameroon tours. I was very happy to hear from you about this. As youı know my husband Hans-Hubertus Pieper has been in Cameroon since the years of 199---. You have always helped him with the papers and translated for him. Since 2001 we iımported our own car -Toyota High-Lux- to Yaounde and you have been driving him to the hunting places all around Cameroon When my husband was not in Yaounde you looked for our car in the Hotel. In the year 2005 I came to Yaounde and you had prepared a wunderful Touristik trip with our car from Yaounde via Bafousam , Foumban , Limbe and Buea and there we saw the Mount of Kameron. You have a very good knowledge of history and culture of the places we went and his organisation was perfekt. We drove 1800 km with you an we enjoyd it very much. Daniel is a very nice guy and in the year 2008 my husband died and I invited Daniel to my home in Istanbul where he stayed about one month and he was a very pleasant guest.Dear Daniel to you and your family with best wishes.”
