Dear Minister,

RE: SHEIKH DR.MANSOUR LEGHAEI

I/We write this letter in regards to the immigration case of Sheik Mansour Leghaei,
which had not been resolved over the last 11 years (his application having been
lodged on the 1st November 1996).

As an Australian resident/citizen/Australian residents/citizens I am/we are
concerned about the manner in which Dr. Legghaei's case had been dealt with and the
process adopted. As a person/persons who knows/know him personally/know of him and
have witnessed his service and contribution to Australian community we request you
to look into the case again and give him a fair hearing and a reasonable
consideration of his case.

Further more we place before you our trust in Dr. Leghaei as a person who has worked
towards peace, inter-religious harmony and settlement of new migrants with
Australian values into the community, and do not consider him as a person who would
cause any threat or disadvantage to the Australian community. On the contrary the
Leghaei family had been well loved and accepted by all al who have into contact with
them.

Thanking you for a favorable response to gain permanent residence

Yours Faithfully/Sincerely,

Name
Organisation
