Excellent Petra! Your studies and ambition are a brand new-look in the Cameroon of today. Very few Cameroonians have been involved in film production as of now, so it will a pleasure to see your dreams come true in a changing world of technology.
Stay focused.

Very nice, Petra. You are pursuing a fascinating career and I admire the commitment and vision that you have for it. To expose the culture of Cameroon and to promote the understanding between U.S and Cameroonian/African culture are great causes, and with the focus you portray I can see you making significant contributions to these in the near future. Keep up the good work.
Your stills leave one wanting for more, wanting for motion.

Hi Pet, Your ambitions and strides are worth encouraging. If you can, make your people there know Africans( Cameroonians) are ambitious especially in the world of Cinema and need just proper exposure. They can prove their worth just like you are doing. Fare on Well Girl!!!.
We are about to launch our STV production. Will keep you posted OK!.

When a girl has moved from nowhere to somewhere, people that didn't even know her or pay attention to her as she made it through struggles, bumps and slums will say....I did this for her, i know her, we were classmates, ..i this , i that. But, I want to join many others who see a rising star in Banin to thank her parents for raising this pretty little one. I was there at the beginning and i am still around look forward to much more. Her beauty is not only outside, but fills every single vein in her body.
I know i am giving away too much now, but what have i got to loose that i already have not?
Hey pretty, Keep the flag high...Remember the famous Five.. Movies, shopping,....the sky is the limit. Hold on to that dream, and tight. Don't let any one ( even me) stop you from getting it together. I was never wrong about you, never will be.
I can see you smiling because you figured who i really was!

HI Pily! Happy to know you are evolving. I am earnestly waiting to see you back here at home, but most importantly, to see your films. The ideas of combining both worlds is original and I will like you to keep that dream until it comes to be.

Dear sweet Petra,
You don't know me, but I know you through your "American Mom". You are a beautful and talented lady and I look forward to what is yet to come. Keep up the good work and don't let anything stop you from your dreams! They WILL become realities!
Love,
ML
