“With your antecedent as an uncommon economic builder combined with your fine leadership acumen, we are hopeful that you will pay more than a passing interest on the maritime economy, which represents a bulwark of the national economy; in view of the changing fortunes of our crude staying economic power.

“As progressive players, revenue collectors can achieve much more if your administration offers them the right encouragement through the remodeling of retrogressive policies and the retooling of the benefits dynamics; plus purposeful and mutually responsible stakeholders’ engagement that has sadly, assumed a master-servant status.
“I am confident that you hold the leadership application to driving our economy and democracy on the right direction, through unwavering commitment.
“The customs brokerage and freight industry looks forward to working harmoniously with your administration to raise the bar in revenue generation through a purposeful, mutually beneficial relationship” the message read
