 (These anonymi are unnamed employees at an Italian travel agency.) CE.I.TUR. VIAGGI TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN We are a travel Agency working for the last 10 years. We pesonally travelled to Poona - India few years ago, in order to see Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and the ashram where he lived. Now we hare busily and happily working with all the Italian disciples of this Master, going to see him once a year for the Master Day's Celebration. We deeply appreciate Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and recognize his outstanding performance well above the standard for professional competence in the occupation. To watch what he created in Poona and what now has started flowering at Rajneeshpuram allow us to testify to the current widespread acclaim and international recognition accorded Bhagwan by recognized experts in his field. We really hope to keep on see him at Rajneeshpuram! Truly yours [stamp:] CE.I.TUR. viaggi [footer:] CE.I.TUR.
