SUGGESTED SAMPLE LETTER

Honorable Edward I. Koch
Mayor of the City of New York
City Hall

New York, New York 10007

Dear Mayor Koch:

In creating the Public Health Research Institute, New York City
has been unique among municipalities in providing excellent facilities
for research in the biomedical sciences. For forty years the reputation
of this organization has been international and the high standards of
research for which it is known reflect very favorably on the City.

I sincerely hope that the continued existence of this organization

will not be endangered because of the current fiscal crisis.

Respectfully yours,
