Angelina Jolie has received a treasured keepsake for choosing to give birth to baby Shiloh Nouvel in Namibia - a thank-you letter from the African nation's president. PRESIDENT SAM NUJOMA is so grateful for the way the actress and her partner BRAD PITT turned the eyes of the world towards his country, he has sent them a personal note, according to American magazine In Touch.

President Nujoma writes, "For the first time ever, our entire nation can agree on something - how wonderful it is that you chose Namibia for your special day. "You didn't just birth a child but a new era for our new country.

If we are the UN's baby, then you, as one of its greatest supporters, are among its founding mothers. "Never forget, you and your family will always have a home here." The President is among those attempting to push a Namibian new national day - to mark baby Shiloh's May (06) birth. (source:contactmusic)
