Hi,

I'm based in a region where this issue doesn't directly affect me, 
however out of interest I took a look at your letter.

Do with this feedback what you wish, however it occurs to me that your 
letter is missing some form of context and pre-amble.  As you aren't 
able to send this directly to named individuals in the networks, it is 
likely to end up on the desk (or inbox) of someone that sorts massive 
amounts of incoming generic mail.  Even if you find the name of The 
President, they aren't going to sort their own correspondence.

I feel that you need to set the scene a little more, help the person 
that is sorting all of the junk that arrives do decide whether or not it 
goes in the trash, or actually progresses towards someone that can 
actually have any impact.  We understand the problem, but not everyone 
that reads it will and you need to craft something that will grab the 
attention from receipt to delivery.

Regards,
Nige.
