On this page, we are posting cases for which we did letter writing actions at our meetings. Sample letters for each case are also included. Please take a few minutes to write one or a few! It is always preferred to write a letter by hand in your own words (but you can use the sample letter as a guidance). However, if you are in a rush, just signing a sample letter is also useful.
