JOSEPH W. TKACH
PASTOR GENERAL

March 1989

Dear Friend:

Thank you for writing to "Dear Youth 89."

We sincerely appreciate your questions and wish to be of service. However, more than ten thousand people write to or call our United States offices each day. As you can imagine, our staff is not always able to respond immediately with a personal reply. And, the few answers we are able to print in our "Dear Youth 89" column require many weeks before they appear in the magazine.

Any literature you may have requested has been mailed under separate cover. Hopefully, we will be able to answer your questions not covered by our publications as we process our backlog.

We appreciate your understanding and patience.
