"Dear Honourable  ...[name of person]

I am forwarding you this recently launched petition for your kind attention, regarding the return of the head of the 900 year old Karma Kagyu Tibetan Buddhist lineage, HH 17th Gyalwang Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje to Sikkim.

We would be grateful if you, and other key decision-makers, in the interests of the basic human right of religious freedom and expression, for global peace and well-being, and for the 17th Karmapa's thousands of followers in India and globally, could help ensure his return to Sikkim (and Rumtek Monastery) as soon as possible.

We look forward to hearing from you.
Your sincerely,
