I just found a new letter from the CAMBODIANA ARCHIVE:

Hi all,

I am writing because I reckon that, as the world salutes this new special President Obama, you and I are smiling with a feeling of special connectedness with him

“So this was written 5 months before the election was even held?”

06/11/2008 - in the context of the letter, I would assume that the date is in DD/MM/YYYY format and not MM/DD/YYYY format.

No, remember that some put the month in the middle.

Unless you know the country of origin of the writer - keep in mind the entire world doesn’t use the US date format - that date could be November 6.
