Michael, I’ve always admired your appreciation of substance over form. I have so many great memories with you, especially when we worked closely together tackling challenging legal and compliance issues at Gold Fields. I want to thank you for your consistent and extremely useful advice on personal finance since 2014. I truly can’t thank you enough. You’ve made a meaningful impact on a very important part of my life—from emergency funds to investments to retirement planning. I could go on and on, and I’ll even dedicate my first million to you! On your 50th, I wish you peace of mind. Paulo Michael, I’ve always admired how you have ready solutions and provide in-depth analysis for all my legal problems—you’re truly a walking encyclopedia! I’ve shared so many amazing trips with you, and each one has been memorable. In Rome, for example, I was always ready before you and Kwame, so I cheekily called you both my “unbankable boys”! Thank you for always looking out for me and being such a dependable friend. On this special day, and always, I wish you the very best. May the heavens smile upon you, and may all your heartfelt wishes come to pass. Here’s to good health, peace, love, and many more fun trips, exploits, and successes! Juliet Manteaw-Kutin Amiko, I’ve always admired how knowledgeable, selfless, and helpful you are. I still remember your frequent visits to Holy Child School. Thank you for guiding me in the right direction to acquire land at East Legon and for all your professional advice. Wishing you all the very best in every endeavour in the years to come! Daniel Dearest Miguel, He’s a very diplomatic person and comes across as ‘je m’en fou.’ I still remember working with you on that executive project in August 2012 at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Accra. First and foremost, I want to thank you for being a friend to me. I want you to know that you are truly appreciated. As you mark this important milestone in your life, I pray that the heavens be opened for you. May the good LORD visit you each day with good health, unspeakable joy, inner peace, blessings, and long life. May His goodness and mercy that has brought you this far continue to be with you. Have a wonderful 50th Birthday! Enjoy your new age, Miguel! I love you. Nina Amiko is always so calm, and he has this ability of calming me down because I have a temper—but not when Amiko is there. One of my best memories has to be teaching you how to dance the running man. I was shocked at how good you were! Thank you for being yourself and always thinking about others. You always have time for me, and I love you for that. Wishing you nothing but good health and a long life under God’s guiding light. Kobi Hanson The Birthday Journal 44
