Dear Ms.Winfrey,
My name is Letitia Soberanis and I am writing to you with the hopes that you can help me. My father Jose' Soberanis came to this country from Panama when he was 15 years old in hopes of finding a better life. He left all his family behind to come to this country and he has not seen any of them since. His mother came to the U.S. when I was about 3 years old but, she died several years ago. His father whom I never met died several years ago also. My father hasn't seen any of his other family for over thirty years and I am hoping that you could help me reunite my father with his family and also give me the opportunity to met them also. I know little about my family except that they lived in Canal Zone , Panama. Their last name is Soberanis. I know I have an aunt named Olivia because she was the one who called when my grandfather died. I've looked on the internet and have found lots of listings with the last name Soberanis but , I am no expert at finding people. I need to know if you can help me with this dilema. I want to know the other half of my family and I would like my father to be able to reunite with the past he left to make a better future. Please would you consider helping me.
Sincerely,
Letitia Akimi Soberanis
