[ExI] abandoning hope

[MB]

The whole thing is just sickening.  I'm so sorry to hear your tale of woe and hope
the passport comes through on time. And your other passport, I hope it also can be
replaced without difficulty.

What a bummer. I forwarded your story to my daughter in Germany. She feels so at
home right now, I'm sure her guard is *way* down, but she needs to be protective of
her papers, they're her lifeline to everywhere.

Regards,
MB
