Esteemed Ms. Nopes!
We thank you for your organization's interest in our nation
and people. However, please be advised that following yesterday's
ass^H^H^H resignation of Dictator-For-Life Myangmon, we have bowed
to the freely-expressed wishes of the citizenry and officially
changed our country's title from the old colonialist ``Republic of
Microlotusia'' to ``The People's Federated Social-Democratic State
of Pham Nuq.''
Though our appreciation for your support cannot be adequately
stated, we ask that you please refrain from future displays of the
old Microlotusian flag, and further that you remove and destroy any
banners, lapel pins, or bunting that might unintentionally suggest
fascistic sympathies with the former Myangmon regime.
Sincerely,
Ebo Thong Bhep
Deputy Cultural Ambassador
Embassy of the People's Federated Democratic State of Pham
Nuq
P.S. Please forgive old letterhead. The continuing multilateral
embargo against Pham Nuq has led to severe shortages of even
the most basic goods, including stationery.
