Sample email and phone statement for Egyptian Embassy and MPs

michael smith | 06.01.2010 13:00 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | Terror War

Here is a sample telephone statement to say when you call the egyptian embassy. The egyptian embassy has stated they have received many calls and emails. I asked approximately how many calls and emails they've received this morning. he sounded fed up and said he can't disclose except saying they've received "a lot". I read the statement and as soon as he heard the words viva palestina he put the phone down, but never hung up, he walked away from the phone. I could hear talking and phones ringing in the background. After 20 seconds he returned back to the phone, and I continued reading my statement he sounded now really annoyed probably having expected me to hang up. After reading my statement I asked him how my raised concerns would be next processed, he said he had no power and that he said if you email it would forwarded to the relevant authority who would do something about it.

Because the call to the egyptian embassy in london is still considered as a UK land line number its good if you've got free land line minutes on your mobile.

PHONE STATEMENT
"my name is... I am phoning to express my dissatisfaction of the current treatment of the viva palestina convoy members and gaza freedom marchers. I have been closely monitoring the situation. This organisations members are surrounded by egyptian police who according to media reports have used aggressive force against them. As a result the convoy members have barricaded themselves for what they perceive is for their own personal safety. I urge the egyptian authorities to permit entry of the whole viva palestina convoy and gaza freedom marchers entry in and out of the illegally besieged gaza immediately without any harm."

EMAIL STATEMENT
I wish to make you aware of the awful and shocking situation which the Viva Palestina Aid group are currently in in Egypt. They are at the Al-Arish port waiting to travel to Gaza. They require urgent help as 2,000 riot police have been sent to the port and group have barricaded themselves in to protect themselves and their vital cargo. Please use your influence to ensure their safety and safe passage to Gaza.

I look forward to hearing from you on this important matter.

Yours respectfully


michael smith
