LETTER
Dear [POLITICIANS TITLE],
My name is [INSERT NAME] and I am a [INSERT RANK/ POSITION] at [INSERT WORK LOCATION].
I am writing to convey my support for your government during this trying time.
As a member of the UFU and Fire Rescue Victoria I know the characterization of this government in the media is untrue, and the attacks on social media unfair. You have been facing the challenge that myself and my colleagues must always face – making decisions in the moment and under enormous pressure.
Rarely are these decisions perfect and just as with firefighting the consequences can be grave. These difficult decisions must be made and facing that challenge day in and day out, for some six months now, is no small achievement. The latest challenges with the current pandemic come on the back of an unprecedented fire season. The decisions made by the Andrews government have no doubt saved many lives.
Because of your government’s commitment to firefighter and community safety I am a proud member of Fire Rescue Victoria.
I know that your government cares about every Victorian. This has been demonstrated by your unwavering commitment to community safety and professional firefighters.
Because of your strong, devoted and compassionate government I now have Presumptive legislation protecting the health of myself and my colleagues in our time of greatest need – I know that your government cares about every first responder and front-line worker.
Please take comfort in the support this government will always experience from the membership of the United Firefighters Union and their families.
Yours sincerely,
[NAME]
