We just wanted to thank you personally for all that you have been doing following the earthquake and tsunami in South East Asia. We are very aware of the long hours that you have been working, especially over the holiday period.
The speed, professionalism and practicality of the UK’s response has been very impressive and is entirely down to the commitment and hard work of you and your colleagues. Both the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister have expressed their appreciation to us, as have members of the public who have been in touch.
We are very grateful, and we know that you will keep it up as together we try to help so many of our fellow human beings who have suffered so much.
Hilary Benn and Gareth Thomas - Department for International Development
