Hania Lopez Sosa ear implant surgery in BPE

Hi Cheryl...went to my bank to wire some $$$ but they need more info. Since others will want to send money, maybe you can print the info in the next BPE:

Bancomer physical address
Bancomer routing #
Hania's account #

They can't do it from the US without this info.
Thanks,
Phil
(Below is a copy of the original letter. Cheryl)
I've been asked by Dr. Luis Hernandez of San Jose del Cabo to post this request for help for a child in San Jose.

THE UNKNOWN BUT EXISTING LITTLE HANIA – A MODERN FAIRY TALE

Hania is a 6 years old girl from San José del Cabo BCS, she is cute, tender, intelligent, but she cannot hear the words of her love ones, she cannot listen when her Mom or Granma call her by her name, nor she can speak to tell both how much she love them…

When Hania was 8 months old her Mom noticed that she did not had any response when she tried to play with her and took her to the ear specialist, bad news…Hania had a severe hearing problem and since she couldn’t hear words, not even with a pair of the most powerful hearing aids was the ideal solution, even though she was the recipient of two hearing aids and that was not enough to solve her problem; her Mom continued the quest for a solution to her beloved one Hania now 6 years old and she still cannot hear but neither can speak, she became a deaf and speechless Little girl… But there is a solution, a technical one called cochlear implant… but now there is a problem, money matters, the high price of the device and the surgery she needs to become implanted. Another problem is that if Hania does not have the help she needs before she becomes a 7 years old little girl she will not be able to speak because of the foniatric system has not been stimulated. After been implanted she will be hearing words and she will be able to speak as a normal little girl, she will not be an impaired- disabled person, she will grow up cute, tender, intelligent as she was born, and be able to live a normal life… a happy ending story.

We are now part of this fairy tale, and only our samaritarian behavior will help little Hania so this story has a happy ending… it is up to you if you think to help a girl you do not even know, but probably in the near future she will come across your way an help you in any way ,unthinkable way the same way we had been helped by unknown people…
The total cost including the device and surgery is about $30,000.00 USD

I spoke with Bancomer today and the writer of the previous statement regarding dollars to pesos is mistaken. All that is required is a passport for foreigners and a voters Id for nationals in order to exchange dollars for pesos with them.  Regards, Dennis

Another Nasty Email Virus Trick - Beware of Emails designed to infect your computer by pretending to be a bounced Email report. They will look like this:

Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
From: postmaster@somedomain.com [this is a random Email address]
Attachment: Delivery Status Notification (Failure).html

The attached file, "Delivery Status Notification (Failure).html," contains an encoded program that opens your browser and sends you to a web site where a virus is downloaded. You may see a window similar to the one at right indicating that the Java application in your computer is starting up. This is result of the virus payload being downloaded to your computer.

Delete these Emails and DO NOT click on or open the attachments they carry. Your curiosity will get your computer infected if it hasn't already done so. Once infected, your computer can be hacked to steal you credit cards, banking info, and passwords, as well as commandeering your computer to launch spam attacks and infect other computers, all without your knowledge. - Alan, alan@bajasatellite.com

BAJABIZ - You may repeat your ad every TWO weeks. Please, no sooner

a. I wanted to just place a reminder, that Cabo Kennels is still here, and ready for playful Pets.
Cabo Kennels has successfully been serving the community for the last 10 yrs and we are still going strong. Many from Los Barriles use our services for day care, when they come in for a shopping day at Costco or Sam's Club. Drop your pet off on the way to shopping and pick up a pooped out pup from playing in our day care. Have your pet learn social skills with us!
We also do grooming, and there is no wait.
With the economy's hold on all of us, ask us about a special summer rate!
Cabo Kennels, where pets can't wait to get in the front door! 1000`s served!
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Monica Pacheco
