Dear Sir or Madam,

RE: Vamuya Obeki, 5 years old

I am writing to refer young mister Obeki and his parents to your office. They need advice regarding vaccines along with a neurological check-up for Vamuya.

Vamuya was admitted to our institution on the 5th of this month due to mumps, followed by a complication of meningoencephalitis. He has since recovered, but the physician discovered problems with their vaccination as no history could be established.

The family emigrated from Sudan and arrived in the UK last year. The parents are Miri and Abdullah, and Vamuya has a younger 2-year-old brother named Saeed. Their vaccination records have been lost, and it is difficult to obtain further information due to language barriers as they can only speak Dinka and Arabic and because they do not have a family physician.

Moving forward, Vamuya needs follow-up neurological exams, and the children will need to get started on a proper vaccination program. The parents can be reached at (+44) 070 4477 2674 and live at 75 Walden Road, Broadchurch.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at 3834 484 567 local 143 for any queries or clarifications.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

Yours sincerely,

Corazon De Joya

Charge Nurse

Children’s Emergency Department
