THE email letter is included for all members to personalise, then print out and sign -- then post it.
WOULD EVERYONE PLEASE NOTE ...... ADD MP after the Hon Tony .... and make sure your send it to him.
There is another suggestion for the PM and that will need a title alteration too.
Use your heads to design the letter YOU WANT TO SEND.
The ozmidwifery version is only a SUGGESTION
The major aim of this excercise is to get as many letters to Parliament House by 5th May as possible
and
as many completed HANDS doc. back to me so I can collate them and take them with me to the meeting.
Don't forget to put a date, your signature, then your name in WRITING and ADD YOUR ADDRESS AND PHONE CONTACT NUMBER before you put any letters in the envelope.
Thank you one and all for your interest in this exercise
Yours in midwifery

Jan: A couple of suggestions re letter.
�
Firstly, and of critical importance, the addressee is incorrect. It is addressed to Abbott but dear Prime Minister. Suggest it needs to be changed to either Dear Mr Abbott or Dear Minister!
�
It may seem inconsequential, but correct protocol is to address it to: The Hon Tony Abbott MP. May seem irrelevant, but Ministerial Office staff (generally, can't speak specifically) tend to get superior and their backs up when things like that "MP" are left off.
�
Kate (who has spent far too many years working with Ministers and Ministerial Office staff!)
