RE: Papal Funeral of JP II

Your Majesty;

It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that His Holiness John Paul II, has been called home by his Father. As His Holiness was from Poland, it is only fitting that a special place be set aside for you and your delegation. As such I am writing to inform you that there are 20 seats in the left apse, which is reserved for foreign delegations, to the immediate right of the area designated for the US Delegation. This will put your 20 seat area right in the middle of the front row of the apse. I thank you to RSVP with your delegation members, and if you will be needing all 20 seats or if more or less is needed, so that we can arrange the seating accordingly.

Yours In our shared grief,
<Signed>
Eduardo Cardinal Somalo
Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church
Cardinal Priest of Santissimo Nome di Gesù
