Your Excellency Nino Burjanadze, Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, our beloved in the Lord: Grace be to you and peace from God.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Your Excellency for receiving us and our entourage during our recent visit to your most noble country of Georgia.

We also wholeheartedly thank Your Excellency once again for hosting for us such a wonderful reception, with the presence of so many distinguished individuals, and also for your accompaniment to the airport during our departure.

Offering Your Excellency our patriarchal blessings and prayers, we invoke upon you the abundant grace and infinite love of Almighty God.
