Dear Sir,

I am most appreciative for your kind and sympathetic message sent to me over the massive earthquake in Yogyakarta and central Java which has resulted in utter devastation and immense suffering.

I am convinced that your expression of genuine sympathy and condolences will surely be a source of consolation to the bereaved families of the victims.

With my warmest regards,
