This
sample letter is Thanksgiving Holiday Message from Mayor Mufi Hannemann’s to the People of
Hawaii
---
Dear
Constituents,
We can be thankful for so much, particularly for the knowledge and comfort that
our nation continues to be a bastion of freedom and democracy in the world.
Yes, our financial industry is struggling. Businesses and consumers are
retrenching. American troops are in harm’s way in Iraq
and Afghanistan .
And we have our individual worries and concerns.
But we can also be deeply grateful for the love and affection of our families,
the companionship and support of good friends, and the blessings of life in a
beautiful island state. We can also be thankful that we have, above all, hope:
Hope that each new day will bring us opportunities for a better life in this
great land. It was in this spirit that the Pilgrims celebrated the first
Thanksgiving, and it is in this spirit that we celebrate this holiday today.
Gail and I wish you and yours a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. Aloha.
The Mayor
