Subject: 2009 Best Wishes and Invitation to Visit the World Bank-IMF

Your Excellency,

Your fellow brothers and sisters from Bretton Wood Institutions (World Bank
Group and International Monetary Fund) were profoundly touched by your warm
welcome and kind words during the courtesy visit paid to you at the Cameroonian
Embassy in Washington in October 8, 2008, following presentation of your credential
letters to President George Bush. On behalf of the Cameroonian World Bank Group-
IMF Staff Association (CAMWISA), I would like once again to thank you for the
opportunity to brotherly exchange with you on issues of interest to our beloved country.

As we are moving towards the holiday season, our organization, CAMWISA

would like to extend to you and your family, as well as all our fellow brothers and sisters
of the Cameroonian Embassy in Washington, our very best wishes for a wonderful
holiday season ; and New year 2009 full of joy, peace, and fulfillment as you begin your
mission in the USA.

As you settle progressively in Washington D.C., your CAMWISA brothers and

Sisters would be delighted to have you at the World Bank HQ for a family luncheon,
preceded by a guided tour of the World Bank and IMF on January 29, 2009, at 12:00, if
your program permits. Such a visit would provide the opportunity for familiarization
with your brothers and sisters working for the Bretton Wood Institutions and exchange on
possible areas of cooperation with the Cameroonian Embassy in Washington D.C., under
your new leadership. We will be touching base with your office in the days/weeks ahead
to clarify if the idea and timing of such a visit would be convenient to you.
