Camelia Pasandaran – Maybe it got lost in the mail? Almost two weeks after the House of Representatives said it had sent the president a letter asking him to dismiss graft suspect Muhammad Nazaruddin from the legislature, the letter has evidently not arrived.

"I checked this morning, asking whether there is a letter [to the president], but it has not been received by the president," spokesman Julian Pasha said at the State Palace on Monday. "But God willing, if it has arrived, it will be processed in no longer than two days and returned to the senders. But up until now, we haven't received it."

The House sent the letter on Aug. 24 to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono asking him to finalize the firing of Nazaruddin, the former treasurer of the Democratic Party.

Nazaruddin is allegedly involved in a corruption case related to the construction of an athletes' village in Palembang for the upcoming Southeast Asian Games.

Julian said he was unaware if the letter had possibly been received by the State Secretariat or another member of the cabinet.

"The essence is that the president fully relies on the existing procedure," Julian said. "If the letter has been received, or it is under the domain of the president, the president will follow it up."
