        Dear Ganesan(Deary me-which Ganesan?),

                Is this the one that you are looking for?
                This was sent to Tamil.net by Dr. Swaminathan
        of Los Angeles because of the Shanip PeyaRchi.
                It was transliterated, using Murasu.
                I hope it came out well.
                Do you need a translation for this ?

        Regards

        Jayabarathi
