Dear Mr. Saifur R. Osmani (Jeetu),
You have done a wonderful positive thing. I hope that through massive publicity, you will be able to justify to the USPS. We are asking our friends and families in the U.S. and elsewhere to ask their friends to start to use the stamp to generate demand.
Good luck with your venture.

Dear Mr. Momen,
Thank you very much for your e-mail. We have go to long way and we'll not stop until our victory achieved. This is the beginning of our mission. Thank you for your advice and I'll keep posted if any development from the USPS. I'll continue to promote for our 'Ekushey' stamp. I' m planning to have a committee will other spoken language speaking representative i.e., Chineese, Korean, Arabic, Russians, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu etc. What do you think? This will boost up the awareness about the spirit of 'Ekushey' and also give them the opportunity to contribute with their good ideas. Our hands will be more stronger than before, if other countries can join in.
The design of stamp might change as because of the international participation but we have to have somewhere 'Central Saheed Minar's ' picture on the stamp as because of the origin of the Language movements in Bangladesh. We might have to justify to the USPS and we all needed to be vocal on that issue. Let me know, if you need any help without any hesitation. Cell: 213.400.4948
THANK YOU.
Regards.
Saifur R. Osmani (Jeetu)

Note: I'm trying to get the promotional advertisemnt through our satellite bangla Television channel in USA to promote the stamp. If you have any sources to do something, please do so.

Dear Mr. Osmani:
I thought it is a great idea .....you did superb. You deserve our thanks and gratitudes. We are proud of you.
We all should try to buy it so that eventually the USPS picks it up as their regular stamp as you stated (I know I was requested to buy EID stamps and we did and as a result USPS continued printing it). Don't worry for the critics. The stamp is beautiful and it represents our pride, the Ekusey...... it's not personal. You took the leadership.. ..you had the vision. We should support and encourage you and we will do. Do what you think is right and I hope, all Bangladeshi origins in the U. S. would try to help you. If your motive is right, Almighty God will help you. There is no doubt in my mind. However, make sure that if the sale is 'reasonable' the USPS 'surely' picks it ups their stamp. Let them give you a guarantee.
We shall buy it and I agree with you that we would spread out the word to our friends and family to buy it. Thank you again,
Momen
