What I want to do first, is to thank you. All the work you put into building this Council and uniting many of Malta's families, companies and other organisations. I've seen Malta begin to prosper as I didn't in years and all that is in great parts all coming from you.
I admit that, back when you contacted me, I was sceptical if we were capable of getting this mighty task done that we burdened ourselves with. But we did. And now we can look back on all the hardship and smile as we managed to build something great.
Even though you are retreating from your Council Leadership position for now we do not dishonour what you did for Malta and the Council.
Thus we decided to award the White Cross of Malta. I hereby invite you to the ceremony on Victoria Plaza.
Now if you accept I'd like to invite you to my estate to plan it and I promise you will not be bothered with Council business during your stay.
I hope you and the Council have a good reasons to do this. Not going to ask what they are, as I can see, decision has been already made. I want to hope that your words about the value of my input into our National Restoration is truly that important. People are usually saying such words as a consolation. If that's so, then I don't need empathy, especially hypocritical one.
However, of course I accept your invintations and hoping that we will stay in reasonable relationships. There is still many enemies insinde and outside Malta, recent event with Roza Varez and her naive followers is only proving my words. I feel a personal responsibility for this and I will do my best to solve this minor crisis. CID need to be filled with loyal personnel from now one, I won't let any traitor to sneak in the there, no matter price.
Enough of the rant, I guess, such matters are usually more comfortable to discuss during the meeting which we gonna have anyway.
