Dear Professor,

I first learned about you through my Computer Science classes and your work on languages. Later on, I learned about your political writings and debates. I wish more people in my country learned more about your work. It is a shame that many can't due to the language barrier or political reasons.

Thank you for helping me better understand the realities of our world and clearing out many of my misconceptions. Thank you for being honest, brave, and for the academic integrity you have displayed. I hope that you and the people you have touched will make a better world.

Congratulations on your birthday and I wish you continued health and happiness. I don't know if you are religious or not but I'm sure God is pleased.

Regards,
Hamad
