Dear Mr. President,
Our names are Raquel Peña and Clarisa Osio. We are extremely concerned about the fact that each and every year world poverty rates increase dramatically. As one of the largest and most developed countries in the world, we feel the responsibility to address this issue and possibly abolish the incrementation of world poverty. We can achieve this goal by informing huge masses about the consequences of having poor people in the world and the negative effects it has on the economy. Do you think you could help? It is evident that we must start by approaching the countries whose poverty rates are higher such as small countries in Africa. Although we do have issues of our own by helping other countries, we are also helping ourselves.
Sincerely,
Raquel Peña & Clarisa Osio
