Subject: Asking Volunteers and Office of PBI to West Papua

Dear Sirs,

Following up our previous meetings with our International Spokesperson and the AMP Chairperson in Jakarta last year and this year, we would like to ask the PBI to consider possibility of establishing its office in West Papua.

Furthermore, we, the people of West Papua are available to facilitate and provide technical assistance in obtaining the permits to have volunteers and PBI office in West Papua.

Finally, we would like to thank you, and please let us know if there are things that we should provide for your further considerations.

Yours sincerely,
