Dear
I/we am/are (an) active motorcyclist/s, and (a) member/s of the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG UK), a nationwide organisation representing the interests of PTW’s (Powered Two Wheelers, Motorcycles, Scooters and Mopeds) in the UK.
I/we wish to learn your views on some issues that concern me/us directly as (a ) motorcyclist/s, over which the next Mayor, Constituency Members or London-wide Members of the London Assembly will have control or substantial influence in London.
I/we do not believe that the issues I/we detail in the accompanying set of questions present any partisan or party politically sensitive matters.
In order to assist me/us in making choices as to which prospective candidates I/we shall support for the constituencies in which I/we reside, I/we would appreciate your positive and clear answers to these questions.
May I/we thank you for giving me the time in reading this letter and for responding with answers to the questions enclosed. As (an) active member/s of MAG I/we commend the arguments contained therein to you.
I/we look forward to your reply
Yours sincerely,
Your Name/MAG Group
