Sometimes our issues do not arrive in perfect numeric sequence because of mail problems, but they have arrived faithfully all year long. I hope your vendor can find the missing issues for you.

Further to your recent complaint regarding the disruption of supply and missing issues of WEST AFRICA magazine, I write to inform you that we are experiencing some difficulties with all our overseas subscriptionks due to internal problems that are taking longer to overcome than we had originally anticipated. A Policy Statement regarding this and the question of crediting those who may not require back copies will be sent out to you very shortly by the General Manager of the company, Mr. Kaye Whiteman. In the meantime, I would like to apologise profusely to every Subscriber and Subscriptions Agent for the inconvenience and to state categorically that anyone not requiring back copies would have their account credited from the most current issue nearest to the date that supply is resumed. Please kindly bear with us as nobody would be expected to lose out on their subscriptions. Best wishes, Danny Idollor Sales Manager For West Africa Publishing Co. Ltd" [Address is: 43-45 Coldharabour Lane, Camberwll, London SE5 9NR; FAX 0171-978-8334] So far, we've received no refund, no letter of explanation from the General Manager. On November 3, 1997 we received the May 5, 1997 issue! Not sure this is much comfort, but perhaps this helps a little.

The latest issue I have is #4177 (Dec. 8, 1997). I can't understand why it still comes when so many other people have problems with it. We missed issues between December 1996 and January 1997, but our subscription agent (EBSCO) was able to get the issues started again in February. We've only missed one issue since then! Good luck in getting your issues! Happy Holidays!
