Mr Bigbuck's Letter by Sarah Olifiers.

Dear Mr Bigbuck's,

Hello my name is Sarah Olifiers and I am a year 8 student at Somerville Intermediate. I am writing this letter on behalf of E.D.A. eating disorders association. E.D.A. is made up of a group of parents who have relatives who have a eating disorder. Their aim is to give support to family and friends, to change the way people think about eating disorders and help the sufferer to get better and achieve their goals. Also they want to find cures, to provide quality care and to find highly qualified staff.

E.D.A. first started out in 1989 by Dr. Pat Hartley and Mrs Nancey Pearce and in 1992 a 3rd charity merged with E.D.A. I feel this charity deserves this money because the association could find more qualified staff and could have more beds because at the moment people who live above Wellington have to go to Sydney for treatment.

I think you should once again give us the grant as it will benefit the association heaps. It is very important you give us the grant. Thank you so much for your time and effort  to read this letter.

Thanks again.

Yours Sincerely

Sarah Olifiers
