Dear Editor, I refer to your front page report of the April 9, 2008 “Venezuelan Embassy donates food to Buxton farmers.”

Dear Editor, Many will suffer in terms of providing for their families, etc for the next four months now that CN Sharma’s TV Channel- Six has been pulled off the air.

Dear Editor, Here we go again! Two Guyanese being attacked on Guyanese soil by Venezuelans, again.

Dear Editor, For some years  I have been paying the Pomona/Good Hope Neighbourhood Democratic Council an annual rental of twelve thousand dollars in advance for fruit trees belonging to this body.

Dear Editor, I am a Guyanese residing abroad and keep abreast everyday, through your newspaper, of what’s happening in Guyana.

Dear Editor, This is a treading of dangerous waters, again. It seems that if the Advisory Committee on Broadcasting (ACB) has dealt with this situation, then the matter is closed, unless the ACB is not a legitimate body with authority to deal with the Sharma situation.

Dear Editor, It must be all smiles at the Stabroek News once again, and I am indeed very happy to see that the government has lifted the ban on advertisements to your newspaper.

Dear Editor, Last Sunday, April 6, 2007, was an evening of prayers and not politics, as a group of Guyanese and friends of Guyana in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC, gathered together at the Church in Bethesda (which is in Bethesda), a rather upscale city in Montgo-mery County, Maryland, to offer prayerful petitions to God for an end to the murders, wanton shedding of blood, crime, gang activities and the drug culture that is threatening to overtake our beloved country, Guyana.

Dear Editor, I am heartened to learn that after years of advocating the powers that be have seen it fit to establish a criminal intelligence unit.

Dear Editor, The issues of intellectual property rights and the laws applicable to them in Guyana have become quite sore and there is some discussion which bears heavily toward the supposition that the mere enactment and enforcement of stringent modern laws will either completely eradicate the infringement of such rights or significantly reduce the practice.

Dear Editor, I refer to the article published in the Stabroek News on the 5th April 2008 regarding the purchase of two Bell 206 helicopters by the Government of Guyana for the Guyana Defence Force.

Dear Editor, For the benefit of members of the public, the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA) would like to respond to a letter titled “No tendering and no transparency in these purchases” (08.04.10).

Dear Editor, There is a lot of public promotion of the Ignition concert slated for April 19, 2008 in Guyana.

Dear Editor, I would like to be advised on how to acquire an ID card if one resides overseas.
