This is an e-mail sent by one of my mom's customers who lives in Sri Lanka (her department ships to a lot of people there, and all over Asia). I thought it was very sweet, and it's also nice to know that not every non-US citizen hates the US like we are sometimes led to believe. ;)

Thank you for your prompt e-mail reply.

It was great talking to you too. I was sad to note that Brenda is sick and hope and pray for a speedy recovery.

We are doing fine here as I had mentioned to you yesterday, the situation in the Country is getting back to normal. All thanks goes to the US Marines who are working round the clock to put things in order by cleaning up the mess and restructuring the highways and railway lines which were damaged by tsunami Tidal Waves.

I too had the opportunity to meet and to talk to them personally, and to say thank you for the great sacrifice they made to come to Sri Lanka and to have given a helping hand to rebuild Sri Lanka. We do really appreciate their commitment.

A Big Thanks also to Hon. President.G.W. Bush for sending them and helping Sri Lanka. The most amount of help had come from USA to Sri Lanka compared to the other donations and help received from other Countries.

We also like to thank you for the donation and help given from Arizona Chemical Co staff to our Country.

Thank you once again,

Best Regards,
Daniel
