Now THIS is a thank you note!
Tuesday, November 4, 2008
A few blogs ago, I mentioned that we sent a Pijin Bible to Queen Elizabeth. Recently we received this special thank you note from Balmoral Castle. Pretty cool!
In case you can't read it, it says:
Dear Mr. Matzke
Thank you for your letter of 4 August enclosing a copy of the Solomon Islands Pijin Language Bible which I have passed to The Queen.
Her majesty has asked me to thank the Solomon Islands Translation Advisory Group, the Solomon Islands Christian Association and the Bible Society of the South Pacific for sending her such a thoughtful present. I am sure that the Pijin Bible is a very fitting addition to this year's celebrations of the 30th Anniversary of Solomon Islands Independence.
The Queen has further directed me to send her good wishes to you and to everyone at the Solomon Islands Translation Advisory Group, to which I would like to add my own.
Congratulations on a remarkable Achievement.
Yours Sincerely
Edward Young
The Deputy Private Secretary to The Queen
