Dear Mr. Prager,

I acknowledge receipt of your letter and promotional material with great enthusiasm.

I congratulate you on your exceptional commitment and love for the State of Israel through the wonderful molding of the half shekel memorial coin.

This symbol of "half shekel" was an important element in our History and during the days if the Beit Hamikdash, a symbol of Judaism that should never be forgotten.

I would like to use this opportunity to wish you all the very best for your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Ehud Olmert
