Dear Ms.Vaillant,

I did a back-of-the-envelop arithmetic on the Economist Intelligence Unit's
offer of GBP 160 per quarter for a stringer,resident in The Gambia, with
all the responsibilities listed in your posting; notably the provision of
the annual budget, government programme of reforms and the Central Bank
Report; not to mention manuscript(s) with independent views on current
developments in The Gambia and I concluded that the EIU is a prime
candidate for "The Sweat Shop Award" of the Month.  EIU is still in the
running for the Award for the Month of January ONLY because my arithmetic
is exclusive of postage.

Folks, don't be deterred by my comments. My arithmetic could be all wrong
for all you know.  Besides, The Economist
/EIU are the best in the business.
Take my word.

Happy New Year too Ms. Vaillant and all your colleagues at the EIU.

Sidi Sanneh
