Burma - Cyclone Nargis
Large areas of Burma have been left devastated following Cyclone Nargis. It is thought that up to 1 million people could be homeless and estimated that at least 100,000 could be dead as a result of the Cyclone.
Most people have still not received any aid because of the restrictions by the junta regime, and every day of delay is likely to cost thousands of lives.

Please find two letters attached to this page that you may wish to use about the cyclone. They were circulated by the Edinburgh Action Burma campaign and can be edited and personalised. One is to the Burmese embassy in London and the other is to the Senior General Than Shwe.
This will require a 50 pence postage stamp. In both cases please remember to add your own address, and note that a reply or acknowledgement of your letter is unlikely.
