The Honorable
George W. Bush
President of the United States of America

Mr. President:

The news of Hurricane Katrina, which is currently ravaging the Gulf Coast, left me deeply shocked.


Many Germans know and love the City of New Orleans and feel deeply the great worries the people there and in the region have regarding their safety and future. The hurricane has already claimed numerous lives and caused immense damage.

Let me assure you that my fellow Germans and I sincerely share in the suffering and grief of all those affected.
