Cover Letter To Petition To Mayor Of San Francisco - November 2007

November 26, 2007

The Honorable Gavin Newsom
Mayor of San Francisco

Dear Mayor:

This letter is in follow up to our August 8 letter hand delivered to your office regarding a meeting request to discuss the upcoming Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Relay, expected in San Francisco next April, 2008. San Francisco Team Tibet members still look forward to discussing the withdrawal of your welcome of the torch and solicit your support of human rights in China and Tibet.

Enclosed, please find a November 11, 2007 petition signed by numerous individuals requesting you to oppose the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Relay and withdraw any official welcome of it in San Francisco. We expect hundreds, if not thousands of more concerned San Francisco and Bay Area residents to sign similar petitions to you within the coming months.

We look forward to your response.

With respect and sincerely,



Giovanni Vassallo
