Dear Mr./ Mrs. Last name,

As a constituent of your riding and a federal government employee, I would like to draw your attention to a serious issue. I am a financial officer (FI) for the Department of [Fill in name of department] and a member of the Association of Canadian Financial Officers. I am asking you for your support in our current contract negotiations with the Treasury Board Secretariat.

In recent years, the wages of financial officers have fallen behind of those in comparable groups within the public sector, as well as with our counterparts in the private sector. All we are asking for is to be treated fairly and receive compensation that is equitable and at par with other government employees working in similar fields.

In supporting us publicly, you will send a message to the people of Canada that the government supports and appreciates those who work hard to ensure accountability and sound management of public funds.

Sincerely,

Your first last name
