His Excellency The President Barack Obama
President of The United States of AMERICA
His Excellency the President,
It is great honor to receive your Excellency's letter in
which you expressed your utmost concern and support to the
International Olympic Movement by establishing an office at
the White House just for the Olympic Games and the
Paralympics Games.
We are fully aware of the capabilities and excellence of the
United States of AMERICA in organizing Olympic events. It
was clearly observed while organizing the Olympic Games for
the years 1932 and 1983 at Los Angles and in 1996 at Atlanta
also, the Olympic Winter Games for the years 1923 and 1980 at
Lake Placid, New York and in 1960 at Squaw Valley, California
and in 2002 at Salt Lake City, Utah.
Your Excellence,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere
respect and gratitude for your Excellency and for the
friendly people of the United States of America, hoping to
have lots of success for the deep and consistent relations
between our two countries, for which I am very much concerned
to strengthen such relations at all aspects.
Looking forward to meet your Excellency in Copenhagen, in the
meantime, I wish magnificent success for the city of Chicago
to host the next Olympic Games 2016.
With my best greetings and gratitude.
Vice-President General of Youth Welfare
Vice-Chairman of Saudi Arabian Olympic Committee
Member of International Olympic Committee
Nawaf Bin Faisal Bin Fahad Bin Abdulaziz
