Obama Says "Hello" to the Faroes

Soon after Obama was sworn into office as the 44th President of the US, Faroese Prime Minister Kaj Leo Johannesen sent the new president a message of congratulations.

This week the Faroese PM received a reply:

"THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONGRATULATIONS ON MY ELECTION AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. YOUR THOUGHTFUL MESSAGE IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

I AM CONFIDENT THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER IN A SPIRIT OF PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP TO BUILD A MORE SECURE WORLD DURING THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN THAT EFFORT AND IN PROMOTING GOOD RELATIONS BETWEEN OUR PEOPLES."

If the press release is to be believed, Obama writes in all caps.
