This is to complete my previous letter
about
Nicolas Sarkozy "Adik"
whereas I wrote that after I dreamed abut my old friend Ade Pane, a
few hours later at CNN there was the news about Nicolas Sarkozy
announcing he was running for president. In this page contains his
inauguration as the new president of France.
My old friend Ade Pane also often joked
that my family came from the island of Sicilia. Recently I
realized that the name of president Nicolas Sarkozy's wife is
Cecilia Sarkozy.

In that previous letter of

average height of my other friends. And Nicolas Sarkozy also rather
shorter than the average height of the French......". Then in the above
photo of 17 May 2007, president Nicolas Sarkozy appeared wearing short
