Dear Mr. President,
It is with great pleasure that I learned about the election of Your
Excellency for the reputed Nobel Peace Prize.
Your appointment by the Nobel Academy in Stockholm as the Peace
Prize winner is for me and the people of Sao Tome and Prncipe a

For this reason, I beg You to accept, Mr. President, in my name and
