Ms. Abo,
I am one of your fans. My son’s ex-girlfriend looks like you or has some similarities. I enjoy watching you on TV and the issues you tackle on 60 Minutes. Thank you for being you
Sarah Abo is one of the best journalists and talents that I have ever seen in my life. I think our community is proud of her.
An intelligent, objective interviewer, who is élégant, well-articulated, well-mannered, and beautiful presenter, to say the least. I am far from bias but you nail it every time you open your mouth. Keep it up and you will be celebrated as the best out of the most credible journalist of our time.
Hi, I just started watching 60 minutes on YouTube and I am glued to it. Watching all episodes of Sara…such a wonderful personality. I absolutely love ❤️ the show and Sara in particular. God bless her and her family!
Hi Sarah, you seem to be a beautiful and pretty woman. Your TV presentation and interviews with instant speech prove that you are such a talented personality. If God willing please make a visit to Tamilnadu, South India where I reside. Be happy and enjoy your profession.

Sarah, an outstanding professional beautiful woman, my best wishes for her, warm greetings from Ecuador. May your marriage be a long lasting life full of challenges and happiness.
Sara over the last 50 I have the pleasure of treating Aussies and having Aussie staff.
You all are wonderful people wonderful friends great patients and outstanding presenters. By the way any further thoughts about the flaperon?
Fifty years I will be 80 by the end of the year!
She is certainly a great presenter on TV. It is sad to see that other TV stations have such fools, who, some think is playschool. Some have been in the same position for years.
Well done Sara. I enjoy seeing you on TV. Would be nice to see you in person to say hello.
