Onderwerp: Sad news- Simon Milward
Urgentie: Hoog


Dear Colleagues,

I am sorry to be the bearer of such news, and hardly know how to choose my
words. Upon our arrival at the office this morning, we received a call from
a police officer in Mali, reporting that Simon Milward had passed away
following a road accident. The accident took place on the afternoon of the
4th of March near the city of Kayes, and FEMA's was the only telephone
number Simon had on him at that time. We do not have any other information
for the moment.

We called Simon's family and the British Consulate in Mali and arrangements
are currently being made in order to repatriate his remains to the UK. As
colleagues and friends, we thought you would want to share our mourning.
Please do not call the office this afternoon as this is all the information
we have, and we would like to keep the telephone lines free in case of need.

We will let you have further information as we receive it.

Antonio
