                             MR.  LEO  NICHOLS 

       I AM NOT CERTAIN  HOW I SHOULD EXPRESS MY CONDOLENCE UPON YOUR
MYSTERIOUS DEATH. BUT IT IS CERTAIN THAT YOU DIED LIKE A HERO. I AM
TERRIBLY SORRY TO LOST A GENTLEMAN LIKE YOU. THOUGH OUR MEETING WAS BRIEF,
I STILL CLEARLY REMEMBER YOUR COMMENTS ON THE "POWER PLAY" POLITICS OF
BURMESE MILITARY REGIME IN EARLY 1980s.  AFTER THESE COMMENTS I IMMEDIATELY
UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU ARE WITH THE PEOPLE OF BURMA. YOUR COMMITMENT WILL EVER
BE VALUED BY US ALL. BURMESE PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER YOU AS THEIR HERO. 
        WE DO NOT WISH YOU  LEAVING US BEFORE DEMOCRACY IS RESTORED IN
BURMA. THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO ACCEPT THAT YOU COULD NOT OVERCOME
THE HARBINGER OF DEATH AT THAT PLACE.  

       WE PLEDGE TO CONTINUE STRUGGLE UNTIL PEOPLE'S DESIRE AND BASIC HUMAN
RIGHTS ARE RESPECTED IN OUR COUNTRY. PLEASE BE REST AT YOUR HEAVENLY HOME.
