Dear <Scheduler’s name>
We are constituents from the state of <State> and also <volunteers | staff> with the Save Uyghur campaign of Justice For All. As the UIGHUR act has passed congress and comes back to the Senate, we are in a race against time to have the UIGHUR act of 2019 pass before year end.

We would like to request a meeting with the Senator or <his | her> Foreign Policy advisor at the earliest. Please contact me at the number below and I will provide you details of attendees.

The Uyghur, an ethnic Muslim minority in Western China, have been the target of a cultural, ethnic, religious and political cleansing . Arbitrary detentions, forced transportations to undisclosed locations, compulsory DNA profiling, which we are afraid leads to organ harvesting, are some of the atrocities that the Communist Party has brought on this minority. As Americans, we have to stand for the values we believe in, stand by the United Nations Charter on Human Rights, and create the conditions that will China reverse its policy of persecution of the Uyghur and other minorities.

We hope you will consider our request favorably.
Sincerely
<Your name>
<Organization name>
<Address>
