WHEN he was 16-years-old, young people's champion Saeed Atcha wrote a letter to Richard Branson telling him what an inspiration he was.
But he got cold feet about posting it. But this week after speaking at Virgin Unite — the charity arm of the organisation — in London he was able to deliver the letter in person. Saeed had been invited to speak at the event.
"Richard said he would read it, " said Saeed, "He is so down to earth and is very passionate about helping young people, he set up a young people's newspaper to change the way young people were being seen, as I did with Xplode Magazine."
Saeed added: "I was able to tell him how he had inspired and motivated me."
