I am writing this letter to thank you for your visionary leadership for America and the whole world. I had a great opportunity to meet you and present you with your mother’s portrait done in rice straw art, on your visit to Galveston. You responded to me with a handwritten letter with your signature. Galveston established a sister city relationship in 1994 and you were the governor of Texas at that time and you declared that week as US India friendship week in Texas. I want to thank you personally for your support for India then and now.
It will be a great honor for us in Galveston, Texas if you, the Honorary President of the Sister Cities International, visit our sister city Trivandrum capital city of Kerala, on your trip to India. Your visit to our sister city will stimulate an interest worldwide about our beautiful, traditional sister city. National Geographic Magazine Traveler described Kerala as one of the top 10 places to visit in the world. American Tourism and technology companies may want to open their branch offices in Kerala.
Dr. Zach from Florida (A great supporter of you) is also from Kerala state. If you take a personal interest to visit our sister city, the Indian officials will comply with your special request and it will enhance the vision and mission of our sister city relationship.
Our sister city will benefit immensely from the special focus of the presidential visit. It will also provide an opportunity for American businesses to participate in the growth of Kerala, India over a billion people who lives in a Democracy. It will provide job opportunities to many and will stimulate changes social outlook, freedom, liberty and democracy. Vision and mission of Galveston-Trivandrum sister city is in the web site http://www.gtscsociety.com. Thank you for your help and support for Galveston-Trivandrum sister city society.
Sincerely,
Rajan Koshy, Chairman,
Galveston-Trivandrum Sister City Society.
