Dear Sir,

Bearing in mind that you recognize that the entire world is facing a serious health problem, which we do not know when it will end, I decided to write this letter to inform you about the seriousness of this problem in my city and I hope that you sympathize of our situation and can use its political influence to our advantage.

Our city is extremely small, we don't have big industries and we don't even have tourist attractions. The federal government has invested little in the city's infrastructure and all of our sectors, including health, are lacking and precarious. There are not enough doctors to serve the population, there are no medications, there are no beds in the infirmaries or even in the intensive care areas. As a result, we are experiencing real chaos in the face of a pandemic like this. You may think that we are not an exception, since everyone is suffering from it, however I would like to inform you that in our city there is not even medication for people who will be intubated by respiratory problems, which generates a great agony and commotion across the region.

I urge you to lay down laws and guidelines that can help my city urgently. To take advantage of the occasion I would like to remind you of our faithful support for your candidacy during the election that allowed you to occupy the position you occupy today, so I ask you to return the favor as soon as possible.

Affectionately,

Teodora Audrum.
