Dhaka, 31 October 2012

His Excellency
Mr. Dan Mozena
Ambassador
Embassy of the United States of America in Bangladesh
Madani Avenue, Baridhara, Dhaka


Dear Sir,
Please accept our heartfelt condolence from Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio and Communication (BNNRC). BNNRC is promoting the advocacy with the government in relations to community radio & community TV with other organizations since its emergence from 2000.

We learnt with sorrow the loss of life, injuries, human displacements, and the extensive damage to property and infrastructure resulting from yesterday`s monster storm Sandy that has hit New York City, Connecticut, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia  and a wide swathe of the eastern United States.

We are saddened by death and damages that the storm is causing on its path. Our condolences to the American people and especially the families of those who lost their lives in this disaster and we would like thank to U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency for their great work.
  
I have asked my staff members of BNNRC and Amateur Radio Holder in Bangladesh to remain on standby and to provide any assistance in the domain of emergency communication that might be required in assisting the post disaster operation from Bangladesh. Accept, Sir, the assurance of our highest consideration.

With Solidarity,
