Dear [name of contact] How are you? I hope all’s well.
I wanted to write to you to let you know about an exciting project we’re doing at school, and to ask if you wanted to join in.
We’re learning about an organisation called Peace One Day, started by a filmmaker called Jeremy Gilley. Jeremy managed to persuade all the countries of the United Nations to adopt 21 September as an annual Peace Day. It’s a day when lives are saved and when all people can celebrate peace. Millions of people are already involved. Have a look at
www.peaceoneday.org for more info.
Jeremy has a goal of reaching 3 billion people with the message of Peace Day by 21 September, 2012. To support him, we have been asked to find one person we can have a Skype video call with, to talk about Peace Day and share ideas.
Would you like to be my Skype contact for this call? If so, there are number of questions that I would like to ask you on the call, but there are a couple to think about beforehand:
1. What does ‘Peace’ mean to you? 2. Would you like to make a commitment for 21 September and log it on
www.peaceoneday.org? What would your commitment be?
Maybe you could let me have some date options for the call. The time difference between us is [5] hours, so how would [9am] my time / [2pm] your time work for you?
Do you have a Skype name already? If not, perhaps you could set one up and let me know what it is. Visit
www.skype.com to download free Skype software and learn about making the video call. You’ll also need a webcam.
I really hope we can connect via Skype and show our support; Jeremy and Peace One Day need all the help they can get in spreading the message of Peace Day.
I look forward to hearing from you. All the best
[your name]
IMPORTANT!! Don’t forget the THREE STEPS TO PEACE ONE DAY Ask your teacher about this.
