Most Excellent President and friend: 
 
I have the honor of addressing Your Excellency with the

particularly the State of Florida, suffered due to Hurricane 
Wilma, a regrettable event that caused the loss of valuable

I am sure that the bravery of the noble American people and 
the invaluable assistance given immediately to the victims of 
this natural phenomenon by your illustrious government will 
allow a quick overcoming of this adversity. 
 
I reiterate to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest 
and most distinguished consideration.
