”If I have an opportunity to advise him, I will say he should not write letters again. Each time he writes letter, the question I ask is: when he was there, how did he do it? He should not write letters again. He has access to them and he can give his advice, instead of writing” he said.

He concluded saying; ”We have not found exactly the formula. My assessment is that we have done very poorly. We could do much better.”
