US embassy cable - 05NEWDELHI6810

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Your Excellency, 
 
I was deeply saddened to learn about the tragic loss of lives 
and extensive damage to properties caused by 
Hurricane Katrina in the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, 
and Alabama. 
 
On behalf of the people of Bhutan and on my own behalf, I 
would like to express our solidarity and send our deepest 
condolences to Your Excellency and the people of America 
during this difficult time.  Our hearts and prayers go out 
to the families that have lost their loved ones, and to the 
countless men and women who, in the tradition of your 
great country, brave the dangers in the rescue operations and 
selflessly contribute towards assisting those who have 
been affected by this disaster. 
 
Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest 
consideration. 
 
Signature 
Jigme Singye Wangchuck 
King of Bhutan
