Dear Sir/ Madam:

I am writing to inform you of a possible partnership with your organization to help you achieve your mission. Project Hope is a non-governmental organization whose mission is to ensure the well-being of people globally. Your mission is to ensure that every child gets appropriate nutrition regardless of their socio-economic background. Your organization monitors foods provided by the government, industries, and media advertisements. You advocate for healthy diets and physical activity. Furthermore, you focus on the prevention of childhood obesity, fighting the stigmatization of obese children, and ensuring healthy foods reach children in schools.

Childhood obesity has been on the rise over the past decade. This can be attributed to unhealthy diets and lack of physical exercise. Children consume junk foods, and schools do not provide an opportunity for physical exercise. The menace of junk and sugary foods is partly due to the media, the food industry, and the government (Profili et al., 2017). Food advertisements in the media promote the consumption of junk and sugary foods. The food industry has continuously failed to indicate the caloric content in the foods they produce. Furthermore, they have continued to produce foods with high amounts of sugar. The Federal government does not consider adequate nutrition when providing meals to school children (Lavie et al., 2018). Therefore, there is a need to formulate policies that will regulate their actions and reduce the incidences of childhood obesity.

A policy that requires food industries to indicate the caloric content in foods and reduce the sugar content in foods should be enacted. The policy will also limit the advertisements by the media on junk foods and ensure that the government provides healthy foods to school children. Our partnership will lead to the successful enactment of this policy. This is because your organization is actively involved in monitoring the activities of the media, government, and food industry.

I look forward to partnering with you.

Yours Faithfully,

The President of Project Hope.
