Reply from Sarkozy's Head of Cabinet

[mkafrica]

So, last week I sent an email to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and I got a reply this morning, from his head of cabinet, Cédric Goubet.

The email I sent basically stated that I was glad that France finally had a President willing to go against the grain, that I hoped he could turn his country around, and that I was praying for him and his leadership.

This is the reply that I got, quickly translated into English...

"Dear Mr. Richardson,

The President of the French Republic has well received your message.

Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy was extremely touched by the esteem and confidence you have in him, and that you expressed so warmly.

Also, he asked me to personally thank you for your precious support, and for your welcome well-wishes. They were for him, true encouragement.

Cordially Yours,
Head of Cabinet,
Cédric Goubet"

I just thought that was cool that they actually replied, and it wasn't a generic, "thank you for your submission" auto-reply, lol.

It might be more generic than you think, albeit well thought out and diplomatic... I suspect its the same message they send to all well-wishers...

But the cool part is that they responded at all... And for that I'm pleased...

I really am beginning to like this new French president... I hope he's a reflection of the French people on the whole... If so, we're gonna have to find a new dog to kick around with our jokes...

I nominate Venezuela... :biggrin:

Generic, but nice touch. Certainly, more than you get from your CONgressment.

Good for the Sarkozy administration. I LIKE Sarkozy. :thumb:

A reply from the President of France? Nice! Some of our own lesser elected officials don't even bother much of the time.

Even if it is a canned reply, that doesn't make it untrue or insincere. I think it shows a lot of class, something we've not seen from France in a good long time.

France is much like the US: the cities are infested with leftist snobs; the real people live away from the urban sewers.
