Dear Miss Mutesi,

Please accept my hearty congratulations on your great achievement as the winner of Miss Rwanda 2016!

We have been following closely the contest and can well imagine the tremendous amount of preparation that has gone into winning this most prestigious award.

We have noticed that you have won a RwandAir ticket to any destination. Dubai is one such destination.

Therefore, if you avail of this offer of the national carrier, we would like to add to your bouquet of prizes by offering to fly you free of all costs from Dubai to Mumbai and back to Dubai on one of our partner airlines.

Further, we shall arrange with our hotel partners to host your stay here in Mumbai for four days.

Remarkable Rwanda just held its first ever India Road Show and your visit will be a great follow up as an "ambassador” of your great nation.

Suitable events will be held while you are in Mumbai and you will also be invited to be a "keynote” speaker at an International Youth Forum.

If this idea is of interest to you, please do let me know so that we can proceed with all necessary formalities to make this visit a reality.

While on the subject, please let me share with you that we have in the past invited outstanding Rwandans from the then School of Finance and Banking as well as from the Rwamagana School of Nursing for similar programs.

Thank you and, once again, congratulations.

Clarence Fernandes
