Permit me to acknowledge with a deep sense of gratitude and profound appreciation the amount of US $500,000 (five hundred thousand United States Dollars) generously donated by you and your government towards fighting the deadly Ebola virus disease that is ravaging our country. This gesture of solidarity is a clear manifestation of the genuine concern and sympathy you have for our present situation and the calamity that has befallen us.

I am happy to say that the friendly and fraternal ties that exist between our two countries and peoples continue to flourish because of the warm personal interest you have demonstrated towards the achievement of our development objectives and also the common values we share on issues that affect our continent and beyond. The government and people of Sierra Leone are indeed indebted to your kindness, as we strive to consolidate this friendship to the mutual benefit of our peoples.

Let me assure you that your donation will be utilised in the implementation of our National Response Plan to contain the Ebola outbreak.

Please accept Your Excellency and dear brother, the assurances of my highest consideration and esteem.
