Your Excellency,
On behalf of the Kashag and the Central Tibetan Administration, I would like to offer you our congratulations for winning the Presidential election. This mandate from the American people is a clear indication of the American people’s trust in your leadership and their hope that America will lead the world towards peace, prosperity and happiness.
I take this opportunity to express our administration’s heartfelt appreciation for your support for the efforts of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to resolve the issue of Tibet peacefully. Your administration’s support and the sympathy and goodwill of the US Congress and people for the cause of Tibet is deeply appreciated by the Tibetan people. It is our sincere hope that this will continue.
