Dear _____,

I am writing today because I recently learned that this, my local council, is not yet a living wage employer. I would like to suggest that the council take steps to become a living wage employer. My reasons are threefold:

* To set an example among businesses within the council's sphere of influence,
* To best serve the citizens and workers employed within the council's reach,
and
* To take our place on a global scale as a council dedicated to the needs of the people.

I request you bring up this concern with the council as soon as possible and encourage discussion on the subject. I look forward to learning of your positive results.

Sincerely,

[your name]
