Hong Kong Post will issue a souvenir cover free of charge on May 12
for the public to send their appreciation and blessing to local
front-line staff fighting severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS),
the Postmaster General Allan Chiang said in Hong Kong Saturday.
The "One Heart One Mind Bless Hong Kong" souvenir cover features
the frontline staff, including medical and nursing staff,
policemen, lab-testing researchers, cleansing workers, voluntary
workers and postmen who have all demonstrated their high spirit and
tireless efforts to help the community overcome SARS.
The souvenir covers, whose production is funded by the donations
from Hong Kong Post staff, will be distributed free of charge to
the public on a first-come-first-served basis at 39 philatelic
offices. The back of the souvenir cover is designed to allow
personalized messages and words of thanks to be written on it.
Chiang said the management and staff of Hong Kong Post will do all
they can to help the community to act in unison and continue with
their efforts to win the battle against SARS.
