Dear Dr. Kissinger,

It is my pleasure to extend my heartiest congratulations to you on your birthday.

On birthdays, it is common for one to reflect on his life and his achievements thus far. I know that as you look back you can take immense satisfaction in the work that you have accomplished. You have devoted yourself to serving your community and your country, and your efforts have impacted millions of individuals. You are a true role model and I wish you more success for many more wonderful years.

Additionally, I take this opportunity to forward to you some pictures that were taken at our Independence Day reception. Once again, I would like to thank you for helping us mark this important day. The friendship that you have extended to the State of Israel is one that we hold in the highest regard, and I look forward to our continued camaraderie in the future.

Allow me again to extend a warm *mazal tov* to you and your family.

Sincerely,

Ambassador Arye Mekel
Consul General
