Dear Mr. Howell, we are trying to locate MR ROBERTO ELINI from Bologna, Italy, 51 years old, known to be travelling to Myanmar at the time of the disaster. He is about 1.80 metre tall, slim, short grey hair, travelling on his own by local transport means, we have no exact itinerary available to try and locate him from here. Any info you may be able to supply would be greately appreciated as family and friends here in Italy are very worried. In case you may come accross any news about him, please be so kind to email my private address at mrp@semca.com. My name is Mariarosa Pacorigh, I am writing from Italy. Many sincere thanks in advance for any cooperation you may be able to give us and God bless you all who are trying to help ! Thanks from the heart.
