Dear Mr Cameron

I've been very quiet on here as there is so much going on elsewhere. I have other things I need to finish off before I get back into blogging again but hopefully it won't be too long off.

However, this week I had sight of a letter written by a 12 year old girl to David Cameron. This had been written without any prompting and help, and she presented her parents with copies to send off to anyone they could think of. This 12 year old had heard her parents worrying and decided to join in the fight. I'm hoping this gets emailed to anyone they can think of to make some kind of an impact. Read on (I did seek their permission first and took the name out).

Dear Mr Cameron,

I am writing this letter on behalf of my father who has a disability. He was put into the Work Related Activity Group of the Employment Support Allowance instead of the support group which he should have been put in in the first place. Because of this he is losing £400 a month! Because my father has multiple sclerosis he is unable to work, which means he isn’t earning a wage. Now, the government are stopping any money coming into my father’s account by 30^th April 2012, however, if my father had been put in the right group (the support group) he would still be getting the money which we rely on every month.

I understand that I am only 12 years old, but I understand what is happening to this country and I believe that I should have a say in the matter. I also understand that you only receive a certain amount of money over the year and that you have to spend it on things that matter, but there is one thing I do not understand. Lots of money has been spent on new things for the country like new community centres etc. but why isn’t the money being spent so you can help people in need like my father. Some families cannot work because they are too ill, but if you stop their money coming in to their bank accounts every month then they will not have any money to rely on when they need it.

I do respect you and the government Mr Cameron, and I respect what you are doing, but some families like mine are not happy with your choices and as you are the prime minister, I think you should respect them and help them like you would help any other person that matters to you. If this country did not care about the money we earn or about the buildings we have in this country and we just cared about each other and help everyone who does not have a great amount of money, then I am sure you would not be receiving any letters off people asking for money and benefits because you would already be helping everyone who is in need.

I do hope that you read this letter and that it changes your mind about stopping money coming into my father’s account. Once again, I do respect you and I hope that I do not sound like I am being disrespectful to you.

Yours sincerely,

Personally I think this 12 year old must have been brought up very well to be so polite, and after a few weeks of being without this money she might have lost her respect for Mr Cameron and the government. Good luck to them and Mr Cameron, shame on you.
