Subject: LETTER OF COMMENDATION
Last week PPU was involved in the difficult task of escorting the former
President of Liberia, Charles Taylor during his transfer to the Special Tribunal
for Sierra Leone.
Even though only few of you were directly involved in that most trying
assignment, you all worked in tandem to the success of that Mission and I wish
here to express my deep and sincere appreciation for the work well done. Your
display ofprofessionalism was outstanding despite the fact that you were given
a very short notice to do ajob that none of you was actuallyprepared for. For
those who were closely involved, I commend you, among others, for the
humanly and dignified way you treated the "Subject". The whole world
proudly watched you in action and Ijoin my hands with those who did it earlier
than I, in order to highly applaud you for the most successfully accomplished
operation.
Indeed, you made all ofus from the UN family tremendously proud.
Best regards.
