"This issue will be issued in sheetlets of six and will be generally available to the public," the President concluded. (ends)
(23rd March 2021) RECENT EARTHQUAKE CAUSES DAMAGE.
"Following a series of earthquakes commencing on March 5th our nation has experienced some significant damage," President Terry Dell declared in his Palace at Fleetwood, on sunny Raoul, today.
"In order to help allay the costs of rehabilitation a special charity stamp has been issued. The recently-issued Emancipation stamp has been overprinted Earthquake Relief 2021 plus 50c. These will be compulsory on local mail until further notice."
"As one stamp in each sheet of the Emancipation issue is inverted, there are (unfortunately) a few inverted overprints also. The Raoul Post Office will sell these at the same price as the "normal" stamps: 45c + 50c = 95c each. Your co-operation is appreciated," the President concluded. (ends)
(8th January 2021) DAWN OF A NEW ERA.
"Loyal citizens: this day sees a new era come to our magnificent island home. No more will many of our citizens suffer enslavement. I, Terry Dell, declare the abolition of slavery on our Island. Henceforth, all citizens will be free, and able to vote for their representatives," President Terry Dell declared in his Palace at Fleetwood, on sunny Raoul, today.
"To make sure my desires are followed, I have decreed an Act of Emancipation, and ordered the Post Office to issue a commemorative stamp to celebrate. I will, as always, be amenable to meeting with any citizen to discuss compensation for the wrongs they may have suffered under the former regime," the President concluded. (ends)
