Madonna tried to get her in touch with Malawi’s recently elected president,Joyce Banda, requesting an audience with Banda to discuss the educational endeavors Madge has launched throughout the country. Banda wasn’t as enthused as the crowds of Malawians who greeted Madonna throughout her visit, however — she has accused Madonna of building 10 schools without acquiring government consent. This comes with comments from the Malawian education minister, Eunice Kazembe, which suggest Madonna hasn’t coordinated her charity’s projects with the government.
But Madonna wanted to give to extend her invitation once more, only this time with a terribly written letter to Banda, complete with multiple spelling errors and run-on sentences. Scrawled on her yellow stationery, the letter reads:
Dear Joyce,First and foremost let me Congratulate [sic] you on your position in Malawi! What an honor and what a huge responsability! [sic] I have always admired your strength and courage and have very fond memories of when we met and spoke and we interviewed you for documentary [sic] as you know I am in Malawi for the week. If you have any time in your busy schedule to meet that would be great if not know I am here to be of service and continue to do what I can to support the children of Malawi!
Who needs commas? Spelling responsibility with an “a” makes more sense, anyway. Banda wasn’t pleased with Madonna’s little note, or her entire photo shoot/visit, really, and stated, “She came unannounced to villages and made poor people dance for her.”
