Warga Sleman-Yogyakarta-Indonesia
We, people of Sleman, need urgent help, after the Merapi disaster, in Indonesia.
We decided to write directly to our president, asking his personal attention on our situation.
But with your signature, this letter gonna have more impact.
Thank you very much for your care on our life.
The people of Sleman - Jawa - Indonesia.
Bapak Presiden yang terhormat,
Kami tahu Bapak Presiden merasa khawatir atas bencana yang terjadi akhir akhir ini.
Dan itu benar.
Lihatlah Kami.
Keadaan kami di Sleman semakin lama semakin berat.
Kami hampir kehabisan bahan makanan dan air.
Paling lama, kami bisa bertahan hanya 15 hari.
Kami telah mencoba sekeras mungkin untuk mengorganisir sumberdaya yang ada, namun tanpa pertolongan tambahan kami tak akan bisa bertahan.
Bapak, Kami adalah anak-anakmu yang butuh belaian dengan sepuluh jarimu.
Bantulah Kami, jangan biarkan kami sendiri menghadapi penderitaan ini.
Hormat kami,
Anak-anak Bapak, Warga Sleman.

Mister President.
We all know your great concern about the recent disasters that affect our country.
We are from Sleman area, and our situation is becoming increasingly critical.
We're almost out of food or water. At best, we have enough for 15 days.
We try as we can to organized ourselves, but without help, we feel desperate.
We beg you your help, as children ask for their father%u2019s protection.
The help from the administration seems very slow, and we fear for our children.
Please, Mister President, come by yourself, and see our misery, our distress.
We all probably have made mistake with Merapi%u2019s danger, but we do our best, we try.
Please, Mister President, don%u2019t let us alone in this hard time of suffering.
Respectfully.
Your people, from Sleman area.
