Dear Signatories:

You are hereby requested to email the Office of the Ombudsman of the Philippines via pab@ombudsman.gov.ph, with your appeal for intervention regarding our issue with the Securities and Exchange Commission for issuing its baseless Revocation Order against the New Seataoo Corporation, which is causing undue financial hardships at the time of rising prices of even the most basic necessities.

You can write your appeal in vernacular, or in English, following the recommended formal below:

1. Approximate date when and why you joined the New Seataoo Corporation dropshipping platform;
2. Initial capital amount, and total receivable amount (same as total pending withdrawals);
3. Total number of months with Seataoo;
4. Describe your overall experience prior to the SEC Revocation Order vs. Seataoo, and;
5. Current financial condition post SEC Revocation Order vs. Seataoo.

We are doing this because all appeals with the SEC have failed. It's time to seek the help of the Ombudsman, who has the authority, mandate and mechanism to help us solve our problem with the SEC, and best of all, at taxpayers' expense.
