Dear Pa Widi,

am shocked and very sorry to hear of your resignation but I am even more concerned to hear of your medical condition. This is not good and I can only imagine the pain and discomfort you have been putting up with these past months. You have been very stoic in the face of this adversity but I think your decision to take care of your back in your home surroundings is very sensible and although it will be CTI Secretariat's loss, there are other more important things in life - like your good health. I am thinking of you my good friend and praying for your safe recovery—

Dear Pak Widi,

I just wanted to send a note to thank you for all your hard work as the leader and guiding force of the Regional Secretariat. I have enjoyed working with you.

I am sincerely sorry to hear about your medical problems, and I hope your treatment in Surabaya is successful. My wife has severe back problems, and I have some understanding of how it can affect your quality of life. I wish for the best outcome for you.

Assalam Pak Prof Widi, my deepest apologies for not responding earlier. It is disheartening to hear that you are having Musibah, unabling you to proceed further to steer as ED of CTI-CFF family.

Dear Pak Widi,

Prof. Widi ysh..

Mas agus dan saya mendoakan operasi dapat berjalan dengan baik.. dan penjenengan diberi kesembuhan dan kesehatan..

Salam kami
Retno

Wishing you the best for good recovery.
God bless!

Waalaikum salam Wr Wb.,
Ysh. Bp. Widi, saya sangat prihatin dengan kondisi kesehatan Bapak yg sedemikian serius hingga perlu istirahat dan resign dari CTI. Semoga Bapak mendapat penanganan yg tepat dan dapat sehat kembali. Sungguh, pemikiran-2 Bapak masih sangat diperlukan di negeri ini Pak. Nyuwun sewu, jadi sehari-hari Bapak harus bed rest, atau masih bisa beraktivitas ringan Pak.

Dear Pak Widi, thank you for the collaboration througout the years and for the photos!
The one in Komodo is classic! We very much appreciate all your hard work and commitment. We hope you can focus on your health and well deserved rest.
We wish you all the best.

With best regards
Rili

Terima kasih Cc-suratnya Bapak Prof Widi A. Pratikto. Saya berdoa semoga Bapak segera diberikan kesembuhan sehingga dapat beraktivitas kembali.

Banyak hal yang telah Bapak kontribusikan untuk pengelolaan terumbu karang dan laut Indonesia dan regional melului CTI. Semoga dapat diteruskan oleh ED CTI-CFF yang baru nanti.

Salam hormat
