My dear Fares

I hope that you and your family are in the best of health.
I am writing to you about the situation of the Syria Heritage
Foundation given the sustained crisis in Syria. This matter is of
profound concern to me and to other trustees. Indeed, Lord Powell
has written to me expressing his concern. He is of the view that
there is nothing that the Foundation can do to pursue its aims for
the foreseeable future. I share this assessment and have
regrettably come to the conclusion that the Foundation cannot carry
out its work so long as the current situation persists and for some
considerable period afterwards.

Moreover, I find that, in my capacity as Chairman of the Syria
Heritage Foundation, the media seeks comment from me, which I do
not wish to give, on the situation in Syria and even on the
whereabouts of HE the First Lady.

I have reached the conclusion that, in the circumstances, the Syria
Heritage Foundation should be wound up, its aims and objectives
being unachievable in the near future. I am seeking legal advice
from the Foundation’s lawyers on how best to achieve this. I am deeply upset that we have reached this point.

I will of course keep you informed of developments.

With best wishes
Wafic
