Dear {FIRST_NAME} {LAST_NAME}, Issue 5, November 2008  
 
WORD FROM CEO

Greetings from the Commission!

Exciting things are happening within the industry- the first ever “Kenyan Oscars” is in its initial stages of preparation.

Our intention is to award excellence in TV and film and… it’s about time!!

We want to follow the Oscar tradition and if you look at our event, it’s a cross between the Emmys and the Oscars — the Emmys because of the TV and the Oscars because of film. The categories we have picked are also in many ways similar to what you would find at those awards.
