Lord Excellency,
It grieves me much to have once again convey to your Excellency
and the brotherly people of Indonesia my heartfelt sympathy for
the untold havoc and death wreaked on your country by the eathquake
that ravaged especially the Island of Nias on the night of 28th
March 2005.
Indeed, Mr President, barely three months after the dreadful 'Tsunami'
unleashed unprecedented widespread devastation to your county on
Boxing Day last, the people of Indonesia were hardly recovering
from that catastrophe when the elements again struck.
In these trying times for Your Excellency, the Government and peole
of Indonesia, please be assured of my unflinching support and the
condolences of the Gambian nation to the bereaved as well as wishes
of speedy recovery for those of your countrymen who have sustained
various injuries as a result of the earthquake. May the Almighty
Allah be our succour.
Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration
and fraternal esteem..
