Dear

Subject: (e.g. "Standing for the Dead in Darfur")

My name is and I am writing from , , and I am Standing for the Dead. Hundreds of thousands have died in Darfur, and I am now speaking up for , who was killed in Darfur.

To prevent further senseless violence, I am writing because I strongly believe Canada should demand transparency in the outcome of the recent presidential election in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

I want Canada to demand that the electoral commission release results from individual polling stations across the country.

The elections on November 28th, 2011 resulted in the re-election of Joseph Kabila to a five year term. In his ten years leading the nation, he has failed to ameliorate the condition of his citizens. Nearly two-thirds of the population lives in dire poverty, even though the country possesses some of the richest mineral resources in the world.

We strongly urge the Canadian government to demand transparency in the election outcome - and if a clear breakdown cannot be provided, then Canada should demand a recount.

Free, fair and transparent elections are necessary for the stability of the Democratic Republic of Congo and I would like Canada to take a stand in ensuring that the president was elected democratically,

Thank you,

Sincerely,
