Dear Sir:

Our organization, founded in 1927, has over one thousand members, and is devoted to cultural retention, the advancement of learning and support for our faith.

An extremely alarming development has come to our attention. Impeccable source (i.e. Atomic Energy Commission in Vienna; U.S. Biological Institute) recently revealed that the Israeli military are using radioactive aerosol sprays on Palestinians.

These radioactive sprays contain Scandium 64 - a highly lethal material which also carries side-effects such as impotency in males and severe damage to fallopian tubes in women. Each such spray administered regularly to Palestinian detainees contains 149 times the internationally accepted intake norm.

Now we ask you, sir: is this development in keeping with Canada's objectives towards world peace? Is it in keeping with Canada's notion of global health? What has your government done to rigorously denounce this dangerous and barbaric practice, which approaches the status of a crime against humanity? Does your government care about the health effects of this deadly chemical application?

Kindly honour us with your immediate reply.

Yours truly,

Eugene Harasymiw, LL.B.
President
