Email of 06 February, 2013.

Dear Prof. A. Jones,

I am writing this mail with rude shock, pains and tears to convey the sad news of the death of my academic mentor, academic father and senior colleague- Prof. Ebong W. Mbipom to the MT community. Prof Mbipom died today around 4.30 pm local time (about 5.30 GMT) in a ghastly motor accident on his way back from his village to Calabar. Prof Mbipom was a Ph.D graduate of University of Edinburgh with specialty in Magnetotelluric Induction studies.

Prof. Mbipom was a Lecturer in the Department of Physics, University of Calabar (Unical), Nigeria. He retired and was hired as a contract staff by the Management of the University of Calabar, Nigeria. Throughout his life in the University, the Late Prof Mbipom was an enthusiast and strong advocate of MT in a country where there is no functional MT system. I will try to send information across as details of his burial arrangement are made.

Please help me pass this sad news of the death of Prof. Ebong W. Mbipom to other coleagues.

Thanks.
