Sample Letter
Hello! I am joining with 25,000 other like minded men and women that are concerned over the injustice of Saeed Abedini’s continued imprisonment in Iran. Please see this Facebook page for more: https://www.facebook.com/events/451324411638963/
Thank you for your support in calling Iran to release Saeed in the past. We are asking you to step up your efforts.
Religious freedom and the return of an American citizen to his family is a bipartisan issue that all Americans of whatever political party can and should support. Please use all of your God-given influence to help bring this man home.
Thank you for your time!
