Mr Prime Minister,

I'm appalled by the recent events which have taken place in New York. I wish to offer you my own and my country's condolences to those affected by this horrendous attack. I also wish to inform you that my government stands in solidarity alongside yours. We are ready and willing to assist you on all fronts in order to rebuild and bring those responsible to justice.

Yours Sincerely,

Elco Brinkman
Prime Minister

Dear Mr Prime Minister,

I would like to thank you for your kind words in these hard times. America stands strong with our allies and your assistance will be most welcome. In light of this, you should know that currently, our embassy is under attack by Iraqi forces in Baghdad - we also believe that the Iraqi regime are responsible for the attack, however we have no concrete evidence of this as of yet.

We currently have a strike group heading to the Persian Gulf.

Yours,
William Perry
Secretary of Defence of the United States of America.
