Mali - Illegal postage stamp issues
Dear Sir/Madam
The postal administration of MALI asks me to inform you of the following: "Our administration was informed, on 14March and 18 April 2000, of the existence of nine different series of postage stamps bearing the inscription "REPUBLIQUE DU MALI" and various designs. "We would like to point out that all these stamps are illegal and that their circulation does harm to the Malian and international postal services and to collectors. "Consequently, we would ask all postal administrations not to accept correspondence prepaid by means of these false stamps. "Legal action has already been initiated to trace the forgers and bring them to justice."
Yours faithfully,
M S RAMAN
Assistant Director General
