Dear Jacqueline,

I very glad to see you could get much information on Helena's proposal. I could notice you're for her plans and projects. But I see that she didn't get most of the votes because she is seen here in Brazil as a revolutionary and socialist. Besides, she is known for taking serious decisions without pondering and stuff like these. People somehow didn't trust her attitudes would effectively help our country.

cheers,

Eliane.
