Your Excellency,
I was deeply saddened to learn of the tragic incident of a mid-air collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and the Blackhawk helicopter near the Ronald Reagan National Airport, which resulted in the loss of many lives.
On behalf of my Government and people, please accept my deepest condolences to you, the Government and people of the United States of America, especially to the bereaved families of the victims. Our thoughts are with you and the American people during this difficult time.
With my deepest sympathies.
SULTAN HAJI HASSANAL BOLKIAH
