Dear Friends,

I would like to send you all my thanks and very good wishes for 2007.

We have come a long way together and the journey is not yet over.

Neither is our determination. With each year we have learnt more about perjury and corruption in Mexico.

Your support by sending the first postcards in their hundreds brought responses if not a resolution. We are making headway and now need your support to send off the new post cards and letters. There is a new President and government and we are determined to continue our efforts in seeking a JUST resolution.

I hold Gonzalez Nova responsible for Kirsty's death. He he has lied about the speed of the boat, its positon in the water and who was driving. One has to ask oneself, why? Was he fearful of losing a substantial sum of money? Did his money mean more to him than admitting his family were responsible for the the death of a young mother?

Well, he reckoned without Kirsty's family and friends throughout the world and until we have a JUST resolution, the fight continues. I am well aware that had this death happened to an unknown tourist the Gonzalez family would have got away with it.

But they reckoned without all of us and in helping Kirsty, we will be bringing some justice to Mexico.

Please send our new postcards and letters in their hundreds from across the world.

I would like to thank Fred Shortland for his guidance, Philip Rambow, John Dalby, Charlie Dickins, Claire Iden and Alan Officer. Also Georgia Rambow for her help in the school holidays over the last six years.

My thanks go to Bono for his support and to Kirsty's old friends, the Pogues.Wherever they play, the campaign is mentioned.

Thank you all for your letters of support. We know we are having an effect. We hope that this year will see a satisfactory resolution.

My very best wishes,

Jean MacColl.
