**********************

Your work on "my Love is Like a Red, Red Rose" and "Tam O’ Shanter" are particularly commendable for their lyricism and the fluency in moving between, what you might say, are three languages: English, Scots and Punjabi.Thank you again for all your commitments and interest, Mr Reehal. I am sure that we will soon have an opportunity to meet and for you to share your Burns’ interest with a wider audience.
