Dear Sarah,

   On behalf of the Canadian Embassy, I would like to express our appreciation for your having come to Colombia to exhibit the collection “Namaste: An Homage” at the Bogota Chamber of Commerce, February 8-24, 2005. It was a real pleasure for the Canadian government to have been able to promote the exhibit and host a reception for such a talented and professional Canadian painter. Your work was greatly admired by the Colombian public and allowed them to be exposed to the high caliber of culture which Canada has to offer. As such, we wish to thank you for the kind gift of “Have we learned nothing from history?”, which will be hung in the Embassy reception area.

   We wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

Sincerely,

Brenda Caron Yates
Cultural Attachee
