Translated from Khmer by Socheata

Norodom Sihanouk
of Cambodia

To the family of H.E. General Hok Lundy,

Today, I received the sad news about the death of H.E. General Hok Lundy (which took place) on 09 November 2008 from a helicopter accident.

I am expressing my deepest regret, and I am presenting my condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.

The death of H.E. General Hok Lundy is a loss of a good son for the Cambodian nation and people.

I am presenting my respect to the spirit of H.E. General Hok Lundy, a good nationalist, may H.E.’s spirit enter paradise as he wished.

Samdach Kong Sam Ol, the vice-prime minister and minister of the Royal Palace, will bring in a personal donation of $3,000 (three thousand dollars) from me and Queen Mother to contribute to the funeral celebration for H.E. General Hok Lundy.

Please accept my deepest regard and love, as well as those from Queen Mother.

(Signed) Norodom Sihanouk
