Subject: URGENT : Application to primary school for US National boys Christopher Ko

and William Ko through MOE
To: contact@moe.edu.sg
CC: ko_andrew@hotmail.com;
To whom it may concern,

I have spoken to Ms Eliza Wang and have been advised to write to you. I need to
check with the MOE if there had been any recent application for two US National
twin boys Christopher Ko and William Ko (birthdate: 7 March 2000) between 31 Aug
2009 to current if not later dates. If there is such application, the twins' father (Mr.
Andrew Ko ~ copied in this email with contact details furnished within) will be
greatly grateful if you will immediately inform him or his lawyer in Singapore Mr.
Foo Say Tun (Wee Tay & Lim) at +65 6533 2228. We will need the contact details
(Name, telephone numbers, address) of the person who has registered/applied
Christopher and William with any schools in Singapore and with records retained
with the MOE to urgently locate the whereabouts of these twin boys.

The background is such that Andrew Ko is the legal and physical custodian for
Christopher and William Ko. However, both boys have been missing from their home
in LA since 31 Aug 2009 (attached file shows picture of twin boys). Andrew has
since reported this issue with the police locally who have recently confirmed that
their natural mother (Mdm Wang YuXin Mei) has travelled with both Christopher and
William Ko out of USA and is currently physically in Singapore. Andrew believes that
their mother have registered the boys for school in Singapore and hence this
request is made. I am writing to you to appeal for help on his behalf out of urgency
and anxiety of this matter to take advantage of the time difference between
Singapore and LA. We understand that there are confidentiality issues involved and
Andrew will be most willing to prove authenticity of this matter and furnish all
necessary authorised documents for your release of information (if any) from MOE.
Will greatly appreciate your kind attention by a suitable person in MOE on this
matter and swift cooperation. I will be available for clarification if needed as well.

Kind regards,
