Your track record of service, integrity, and dedication to the ideals of fairness, justice, and inclusivity speaks volumes of your competence and capacity for this important national assignment.

Once again, we congratulate you and pray for divine wisdom, strength, and guidance as you discharge the responsibilities of your office.
