Just for my knowledge I would like to ask you about the invitations. I would really appreciate if you could provide me any details of invitations and related cost procedures. (Tickets, Accommodation and transfer etc). Is this invitees own expense/Companies or any of the highlighted ones covered by organizers. This information would facilitate us to make the travel arrangements easier.

Mentioning the Following :
In my point of view “ Service Excellence Awards to Villa Group Of hotels” is an excellent initiative. Further, I genuinely feel that “Asian CSR Leadership Awards” seems to be an excellent opportunity to value our chairman’s work (his Foundation, Villa Group of Company’s including Villa hotels). This could be either, an individual or company award.

Dear Dr.Bhatia,
I am apologies for late replying and kindly please find the attachment as my revert,
With Warm Regards
Iqbal Adam.
Please find below the letter for your kind perusal.
30th August 2012.

Dear Dr.Bhatia,
Hope you are fine and in good health.
Foremost, I wish to apologize for the miscommunication. Since our initial communication, I have put all the efforts to clear the communication issue between all the stakeholders involved in the highlighted process.
Unfortunately, due to our Chairman’s inconceivable busy schedule in the past couple of days, I was not able to meet and discuss the issues we had during this process. However, I met with him yesterday and have discussed the delaying/unclear payment process issues with him.
After yesterdays meeting with our Chairman, it is quite apparent that he was very much under the impression that the amount was $2500 (two thousand five hundred dollars) not $ 25,000(twenty five thousand dollars). By some means this communication error has occurred.
Dear Sir, Mr. Qasim Ibrahim always honours his commitments. He is not an individual who would provoke anyone to dishonor any agreed terms. Further, with his and company’s colossal financial difficulties, he has ‘been putting all his efforts to help any such invents and/or individuals who need his help.
Sir, this is a genuine communication error. We do agree that this is an apologetic situation; regardless, I thought I would share the highlighted points accordingly. It is not our intention to create a barrier between two parties. I apologize for the miscommunication and would appreciate it if we could resolve this matter.
I regret any inconvenience this inadvertent matter may have caused.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely
Iqbal Adam
Secretary to Hon.Qasim Ibrahim.


Thanking you
Yours Sincerely
