Dear Mark Price, Managing Director at Waitrose,

The issue I am writing to you about has been on the News, in Magazines and in all the daily newspapers. It is a global problem, which needs to be addressed by all major world powers. On a more basic level, I feel that supermarkets, with their buying power, could influence governments by sourcing products, such as bananas, coffee and other important food/drinks from countries that encourage and support fairtrade. This would help the under privileged, hard working native peoples of the world who pick, pack and send your products to get a decent wage for their labour. It seems to me that it is wrong when the people who only stack the shelves get fifteen times more than the people who have the most difficult jobs, who work for as long as possible just to feed their families. I am not putting the blame on you, but I think if you brought in fairtrade products to your stores and increased the price of each of them by a few pennies, I’m sure people will buy the products still because it is for a good, charitable cause, you will make a profit and the coffee bean growers and the banana growers would earn the right amount of money. Also, show promotions to your customers in your store to educate the public to make them aware of how they can help. I apologize for the length of this letter but I think you will agree that I have a point.

Yours Faithfully,

Christy Thingy
