Tena koe,
He kororia ki te Atua i runga rawa, He maungārongo ki runga i te mata o te whenua, he whakaaro pai ki ngā tāngata katoa.
E ngā iwi, e ngā reo, e ngā mana, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
Nau mai ki tē whārangi nei.

I choose to tell My story in a manner consistent with my tikanga (Māori custom). The contents of this short communication I think fairly represent who I am and what I consider to be important. We (Māori) do not generally feel comfortable speaking about ourselves as it is considered improper, hence this narrative. I hope that assists you in your deliberations, and if at some point you would like to discuss any of these things further, and then please do not hesitate to contact me.
