Letter Writing Campaign - TEMPLATE

Dear Mr/Ms _______

I am writing to you as a (__nationality__) staff member concerned about the revelations of wrong doing on the part of our President.

I believe that the President's behaviour mires the Bank in sleaze and corruption, and seriously compromises the Bank's credibility and its ability to fulfill its mandate.

If our president is not capable of acting with transparency and accountability, how are we as staff supposed to promote good governance and anti-corruption among our clients?

I support a call by the Board for Wolfowitz's resignation.

Yours sincerely

__Staff Member's Name__
