The full text of the letter follows.

November 28, 2008 His Excellency Dr. Manmohan Singh Prime Minister South Block Raisina Hill New Delhi 110 011 India Dear Mr. Prime Minister: On behalf of B’nai B’rith members and supporters in 50 countries, we are writing to express our deepest concern over the terrorist acts of the past two days in Mumbai. The brazenness of the terrorists, and the wanton death and destruction they have wrought in their wake, seemingly know no bounds. These acts, however, will only serve to strengthen the resolve of the world’s democracies to fight and defeat those who direct and carry out such horrific attacks. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, the residents of Mumbai, and all the people of India. Respectfully, Moishe Smith, International President                  Daniel S. Mariaschin, Executive Vice President
