I really sent the following e-mail: To: Mr. Bill NeelyFrom: Melisa with one S1/19/10 Hi Mr. Neely, I just wanted to take a moment and commend you for your ITN report (it was shown in the States yesterday evening on NBC Evening News with Brian Williams) about the woman who was rescued from the ruins of a bank in Haiti after being buried alive for six days. Your delivery of the report was superior and I was overwrought with emotion in the first few seconds.
