Your Excellency:
I am deeply saddened by the loss of so many lives and property as a result of the earthquake that struck the capital city Port-au-Prince on Tuesday.
I extend my sympathy and heartfelt condolences to all those families who have been directly affected by what I understand is the worst quake in two centuries in the history of Haiti.
I offer my prayers for those who have lost their lives in this tragedy and condolences to their families and others affected by this natural disaster.
With my prayers.
