The Honourable Judge Rosario:

My name is Valentino and I am a Canadian citizen residing in Ajax with my wife and three children since 1989. I am employed with the Ontario Government as an accountant since 1989.

I have known Mr. Santos for the last 16 years, and we have shared a variety of activities such as parties, sports, picnics, and traveling within Canada. Also, I have known Mr. Santos to be a prudent, conscientious, hardworking and a caring person. After he got married, he worked very hard at several jobs to establish himself, and his family. In 2006, Mr. Santos bought a house in Ajax and has settled very well in a new environment next to myself and my family. Mr. Santos is very proud of his family and has endeavoured to be a major provider in the home for his wife, two children and his 74 year old widowed mother.

Due to his present situation, I have been maintaining his property, i.e., mowing the lawn, assisting with grocery shopping and his children’s activities. I make arrangement for him to see his children at my place. He has confessed to me that he loves his wife and children and his mother very dearly and his only wish is to be with them very soon.

If you require any further information, please contact me at (234)987-8976

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Valentino
