Greetings from Lucena City Vice Mayor PHILIP CASTILLO
I have spoken to the Australian Commissioner for ISRAEL 2008, Dr Geoff Kellow, who gave me your result. If you have not already heard, your QE 2 exhibit award is : Silver (71 points). I think this is a good result and I hope you agree. Judging at FIP level is at least one to two levels below a National Exhibition. At any rate, your QE 2 was admitted to a FIP exhibition and this is a great achievement.

Dear Alyssah, Congratulations on your Silver at the Israel World Stamp Championship. I am sure that it was well deserve ! I sent your KUT stamps by registered airmail. You are getting mint and used examples of almost every QE II stamps issued by Kenya, Uganda, & Tanganyika from 1954 to 1960. The only ones missing are the 1960 " Officials " and all booklets. I'm afraid I have no extras of these. Included, however, are a number of covers illustrating a range of KUT QE II stamps. I hope you can use these KUT stamps in a future exhibition and I wish you the best of luck in all your philatelic endeavors. With best regards.
