To this end, I take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the contributions made by LincTBanfi as~ Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF. Mr. Banfi's exceptional communication skills and great compassion for mankind, make him an excellent spokeperson for the major activities undertaken by UNICEF. On his last engagement in this capacity, in March 2002, he went to Eritrea where he visited the sites of the ongoing projects run by UNICEF to rebuild schools. On that occasion, he was successful in appealing to the sport world, especially in the area of soccer, to raise funds for the supply of sport goods to the children of Eritrea. I am, therefore, certain that Mr. Banfi has the right credentials to join the other Italian Goodwill Ambassadors at the meeting conveyed at the United Nations Headquarters in New York from 18-19 June 2002, where he can bring his personal contribution. There is no better person than Mr. Banfi to represent those qualities of human kindness and understanding, which are at the very core of the concept of solidarity and friendship. These are the same qualities that have brought him success during his long, and successful artistic career in Italy in the Theatre, Cinema, Television and Radio, where he played a significant role in the history of the Italian show business. [Personal regards,] [Silvio Berlusconi] H.E. Kofi Annan Secretary-General of the United Nations NEW YORK >} JUNI0200? New York, 6 June 2002 Dear Mr. Secretary-General, I have the honor to enclose herewith a letter addressed to you by the Honorable Silvio Berlusconi, President of the Council on Ministers and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Italy, together with an English translation. Please accept, Mr. Secretary-General, the assurances of my highest consideration. Ambassador H.E. Mr. Kofi Annan Secretary-General of the United Nations New York J If) E1 W 1? (1, JUN I 0 2002 I 001/0774 Roma, 17maggio2002 Caro Segretario Generate, da sempre sono convinto della bonta dell'miziattva a suo tempo lanciata dall'ONU con la nomina di "Goodwill Ambassadors", volta alia raccolta di fondi presso il settore private da destinarsi a progetti a favore delle zone meno sviluppate del pianeta. In particolare, desidero esprimerLe il mio apprezzamento per le attivita svolte da Lino Banfi come "Goodwill Ambassador" per conto deJFUnicef. Le sue straordinarie doti di comunicatore e la sua grandissima umanita ne fartno infatti un promotore eccezionale per le fondamentali miziative intraprese da questa agenzia deH'Qnu. Da ultimo nel marzo del 2002 si e recato in Eritrea, dove ha visitato i progetti deirUnicef per la ricostruzione delle scuole e dove ha lanciato con grande successo appelli di "fund raising" rivolti al mondo sportive, in particolare calcistico, per la fornitura di materiale sportivo per bambini eritrei. Sono quindi certo che Lino Banfi potra unirsi con successo agli altri "Goodwill Ambassadors" italiani per dare il suo originate contribute alia riunione da Lei convocata a New York per il 18 e 19 giugno prossimi.

SO/6S Nessuno piu di lui sapra portare quelle doti di umanita e simpatia che costituiscono il presupposto stesso della solidarieta e dell'amicizia. D'altro canto sono proprio quelle qualita che lo hanno portato al successo e che lo hanno accompagnato in Italia lungo tutto il percorso della sua straordinaria vicenda artistica ricca di successi in Teatro, al Cinema, alia TV e alia Radio, segnando un'epoca e uno stile nella storia dello spettacolo italiano.
