SALUTATION

Dear Representative Doe:

1ST PARAGRAPH

I am writing in regard to the Indiana Life Sciences Initiative proposal submitted by Indiana University . I graduated from Indiana University in 19__ and have two children presently attending IU.

2ND PARAGRAPH

My time at Indiana University provided me the education and life skills that allowed me to build a successful career and raise my family in Indiana . To fulfill our commitment to future generations, Indiana must invest in higher education today. That includes supporting the research necessary to create new medical treatments that will lead to the development of new products, companies and jobs for all Hoosiers. Biotechnology and other life sciences businesses will be a major part of Indiana 's 21 st century economy if we invest now in the work of IU scientists and their partners at Purdue, Notre Dame and other universities in the state.

CLOSING PARAGRAPH

I respectfully urge you to support Indiana University 's appropriations request, including the new appropriation for the Indiana Life Sciences Initiative. An investment in Indiana University is an investment in our future.

SINCERELY,

Sincerely,
