"Don't forget Bangladesh"
This is in response to Mr. Ubaidullah Awal's letter requesting all the skilled people living abroad not to forget Bangladesh. I'm glad that I've decided to do the same as your father did. I'm going to resign from my highly paid position of Sr. Software Engineer about the middle of June and going back to Bangladesh for the love of my country and for the love of my family/relatives. I've decided to start my own software business in Bangladesh creating employment opportunity for intelligent and skilled people in the country and also to help Bangladesh to enter into the global race of technology/e Business. I've earned valuable experience working in the largest mortgage insurance company in the world as a Sr. Software Engineer and this is my chance to pay back to my country which helped me grow up to what I'm today. Therefore, I voice together with Mr. Ubaidullah Awal and request every skilled Bangladeshi living abroad to contribute to Bangladesh in any possible way. Let's create a chain of Bangladeshi professionals around the world with the ultimate goal of helping Bangladesh. We need to do a better job in the area of co-operation for other Bangladeshis.
I created a yahoo group for Bangladeshi professionals around the world with a view to helping each other and to providing opportunity to other Bangla-deshis.
