I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity given me to be under your tutelage since my days as a student at the University of Ghana. I have learnt so much from you, and I am truly grateful for your guidance and support over the years.
I remember when I first started working with you as a young student leader, I was nervous and unsure of my potentials. But you took time to mentor me and help me grow into the professional that I am today. You have taught me the importance of hard work, dedication to duty, loyalty, commitment and service to humanity. You have also shown me how to be a leader and how to motivate and inspire others especially, young women.
Words are not enough to show appreciation for all that you have done for me. I have grown so much as a person and a young politician because of you, and I am confident that I will use the skills and knowledge acquired to succeed in my future endeavors; no doubt about that.
Thank you for everything, Mummy as affectionately called by all. I am truly grateful for your love, care, support and guidance. I pray for many more healthy years for you to continue impacting positively on others too.
