At one of the companies I used to work at there is a guy named Mo. Mo is from Djibouti. He walked to Ethiopia as he wasn't legally supposed to leave. He was found just short of his destination and returned to Djibouti. So, he walked again. Mo was the de facto lead on one of the assembly lines. He remembered most things about how to assemble our products without notes, pictures, or the like. He probably would have also written a note similar to the one you received. Actually, he has enough friends now that he probably would have had one of them type it up for him, or even one of his kids. I admire Mo quite a bit, and I really enjoyed working with him.
