With reference to the subject I would like to put in record the great display
of professionalism you showed during the Mission entrusted to PPU to transfer
former Liberian president Mr. Charles Taylor from RIA Airport (Monrovia-
Liberia) to the Special Court for Sierra Leone (Freetown-Sierra Leone).
The responsibility of the Mission was entrusted to me as Team Leader and I
never hesitated to select you as one of the team members reinforcing the Security
of the Head of Mission when Mr. Taylor was entrusted to us at RIA airport.
Your performance was indeed beyond expectations and critical to the
success of the Mission. I attach a letter of commendation from the Chief Security
Officer were he also congratulates you and mentions how proud you made all
member of the United Nations Family for a job well done.
You can be justifiably proud for your actions and I look forward to working
with you in my team in any stressful conditions because I have already seen your
calm pose regardless of the many enemies and friends of Mr. Taylor that could
have tried to hurt him or take him from our custody during the transfer.
For all this I commend you.
