Dear Mr. .......

There is a desperate need for powdered milk in North Korea to avert the critical expansion of malnutrition among the children of 100,000 homeless Koreans families hit by the worst floods in the country's history. The United Nations representative in Pyongyang, Mr. Faruq Achikzad, has asked me through the Internet Home Page, which I launched, to help the flood victims, for powdered milk (and other supplies) and I, in turn am appealing to you for a donation of your product, which I would personally deliver to North Korea and donate through the UNDP office there which has been authorized to make direct distributions to the children.

I am a former long-term Newsweek Tokyo bureau chief and advisor to several major Japanese publishing companies. I am also involved in voluntary activities to help Cambodia in its reconstruction and rehabilitation. These activities are supported by the Council for Better Corporate Citizenship (CBCC) of the Keidanren.

As a journalist I traveled to North Korea three times and am in contact with the Flood Damage authorities there as well as the U.N. representative in Pyongyang. They have both requested me to help them with relief activities on behalf of the flood victims . The need for powdered milk, to avert growing malnutrition among the children, is very urgent and I in turn appeal to you for your generous support.

Sincerely yours,

Bernard Krisher
