Ruth, your Editorial is brilliant.  Perhaps the USA will become a stronger and more resolved partner for such essential aims in the near future. It will be good to (finally) meet you

Dear Madam,
First of all, I do appreciate your work in allowing Africans an outlet to present and discuss their academic works with other peers around the continent and outside the continent. In this respect, I here attach copy of an academic paper on the impacts of climate change on the agricultural output in the Gambia for consideration in the African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development.

Subject: reviewer

Dear Prof,
It was good to meet you in person. We had conversed on email for a while before we met.   ICN did me some good because it , amongst other factors, created an opportunity for us to meet. I hope that you travelled back home safely. My trip  home was fine too. As I expressed earlier, I want to thank you a lot for the work you are doing with AJFAND. The journal has rescued many of us, whose critical mass in the country is too small for a journal and yet in need of constant communication with colleagues in the area. I would like to contribute to the journal by being a reviewer. I know this is small contribution, but I thought I should lend a hand. 
Thank you again.

Dear Sir/Madam,
We want to bring to your attention that Ministry of Agriculture Central Library acknowledges and appreciates the high quality literature on agriculture and related you always sent to us. We kindly invite you to share any ideas on the isuues on agriculture and related and/or identify alternative services that you deem necessary to be more viable. We again thank you for your long standing support and cooperation. We also take this oppotunity to appologise for not acknowledging some literature you have been sending to us. This was due to financial problems our country have been expriencing. Our internet and other communication modes have not been functioning properly. Please do keep in touch.
With kind regards

Prof Oniang'o,
Thanks for this information. This volume is exciting from two perspectives. One I see one of the papers that I reviewed appearing. Two, it is packed with nutrition papers, and I am also working on linking the prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases to food and nutrition! We are drawing up a collaborative reserach project with University of Pittsburgh Medical School.

Dear Prof Oniang'o
I appreciate my inclusion in your mail. I wish to send an article for publication in your reputable journal "African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development" I went through the site but l could not see the directive for contribution to Authors. I also wish to appreciate the way the journal is widely publisized wish is very good for us in Africa. Development in Africa has to be done by us not by the none African. Please, keep up the good work you are doing as Editor in Chief.

Subject: Re: Announcing AJFAND Volume 8 No. 3 2008Dear Hon. Prof. Oniango,

These are good articles on contemporary issues and should be valued by readers. I feel good that those I did not recommend do not appear. I have reviewed some articles that do not meet this high standard that you have set, and I was getting worried that I did not recommend any lately! Please keep up the good work. We must redeem ourselves as African scientists by publishing high quality work.

It is great to hear from you especially at this time when you must be extremely busy as the elections get closer. I must say that I and I believe I speak for many are glad to have colleagues like you in the house. It makes a great difference. Hope one of these days we will get a moment to share a cup of it and ideas that can further enhance public health for our people.
