Strange e-mail du jour, the Foreign Office’s “Regional Overseas Security Manager & Post Aviation Security Officer” in Freetown inviting me to a meeting to discuss security issues in Sierra Leone. I’ve had quite a few e-mails intended for other people to my riddell@gmail address but I would have expected security officers to actually use secure communications like PGP encryption.

I know I have met each of you individually over the past months, but a collective meeting would be useful. I am hoping to have a meeting prior to Dec 6th if this is possible? I was thinking Tuesday November 30th if this suits all parties? I look forward to hearing from you, Tim Parkinson Regional Overseas Security Manager & Post Aviation Security Officer Freetown, Sierra Leone (FTN: (8380) Ext 2241) (Mobile: (+232) 076601001) (e Mail: Tim.Parkinson@fco.gov.uk)
