    Liewe Ryk,
    Ek is so jammer dat jou onbaatsugtige poging om terug te gee aan die gemeenskap, nou ook deur hierdie gevoellose booswigte moes deurloop. Ek glo en vertrou dat mense se harte sal oop wees en jy spoedig weer die deure van hierdie akademie sal kan oopmaak en dit nog beter sal wees as voorheen. Hou aan met die wonderlike werk wat jy doen – jy is voorwaar ‘n voorbeeld vir almal en ‘n ongelooflike inspirasie.

    Vriendelike Groete
