Victoria, British Colombia, Canada

Dear Ms. /Mr. Scoot Adam,

I am writing to request a meeting to discuss the issue of global

poverty, an issue I think is crucial in this new parliament. Would it be
possible to meet with you before the Speech from the Throne, or at
least before the federal budget is presented?
Worldwide, poverty kills more than 50,000 people every day one
third of all deaths. These deaths are virtually preventable. Canada has
pledged to address poverty reduction both domestically and
internationally, but is failing to implement its promises.
You will find attached a briefing note from the Make Poverty History
Campaign that outlines how Canada can meaningfully address poverty
at home and globally. I hope you will consider supporting these
measures, and joining with the many thousands of celebrities and
ordinary folks who support this issue in Canada and internationally.
As a constituent in your riding I would appreciate the opportunity to
discuss this issue with you in person. Please contact me at your earliest
convenience, at 085123456789.

Sincerely,
Smith Sinclair

Could I .( Bisakah aku ....)
Can I (Dapatkah aku )
