Mr V. Pirabhakaran
LTTE Headquarters
Jaffna

Dear Mr. Pirabhakaran

I write to inform you that the government is ready to commence some of the reconstruction projects discussed by us with the LTTE.

Work could commence immediately on:

• the electrification of Jaffna
• repair of the major roadways in Jaffna
• re-construction of the Public Library
• repairs to the General Hospital

Some of the other work could commence from 1 March 1995.

Our technical officers are ready to go to Jaffna any day from Monday 20 February.

I shall be thankful if you could make arrangements to receive them and facilitate their work.

We shall be writing within the next two days to you about the other matters which have been discussed between the government and the LTTE during the past few weeks.

I shall be grateful for an early reply.

Thanking you,
With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,
President Chandrika Kumaratunge
