Excellency,

On behalf of the All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat, and on my own behalf I express our deep shock and grief at the immense loss of life in Pakistan in the earthquake that hit the Sub-continent on 8 October, 2005.

We request you to convey our heartfelt sympathy to the Government and people of Pakistan and our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families.  We hope that your Government shall receive full support from the international community and thus provide adequate and timely relief to the victims in the earthquake-ravaged areas and rehabilitate them.

As a token of our moral support, I enclose a cheque for Rs.100,000/- as a contribution to the President’s Relief Fund.

Accept, Excellency, the assurances of our highest consideration,

Sincerely,

(SYED SHAHABUDDIN)
