  1. Dear Sir, My name is Rewa Mirpuri. I am the author of three books, Book of Humour, Best of Humour and Bank of Humour. These books are published by Rotary Club of Singapore and we sell these to raise funds for charity. Please see our websites: http://www.rotary.org.sg/bookofhumour.html and http://www.booksonhumour.com
    We are keen to use your platform to publicise these books or sell them for which we are prepared to pay any share. Will you organisation help us?
    I await you kind response. Best regards, Rewa Mirpuri – Tel; 6241 9157.
