Dear Hausa Nairalanders,
please I need someone who is fluently in writing Hausa to translate a simple letter from English to Hausa for me. We have phrased a letter which people will use to send to their senator of their state and also will use it with the march on 8th February in Abuja. We thinK it will be much better when the letter is multilingual.

The text of the letter is as follows:

Dear Senator _______________________:



I am writing because of my grave concern regarding the crisis in Jos,

Plateau State as well as similar sporadic violence in other cities of

Nigeria.  I am aware that this problem is not new but has been mounting

for many years.  I realize that there are many issues that effect this

problem but I also cannot continue to watch Nigerian children, women

and families face this kind of brutality without knowing what our

government is going to do to help resolve this horrific matter.  Please

explain to me what is being done to prevent more killings in Jos, Nigeria? 

What is our federal government doing to help the survivors of Jos in

Plateau State, who lost family members in the killing spree of January 17,

2011?  I would also like to know how can I as a Nigerian citizen support

your efforts.



Thank you for taking time to read my concerns.  I look forward to hearing

from you.



Sincerely,

Name

Address  ??

City, State

No Tsiya, it isn't late.

February 2011 is  "Healing For Jos" - Email - Your - Senator -  Month    It's not my creation

Throughout the month of February, we ask every caring Nigerian to email your Senator, asking them to support the children and families in Jos and other cities of Nigeria where terror and trauma from random killings are happening.  Below is an online list of all of the Senators of Nigeria.  Simply  locate your state and select your senator.  The senator’s email address is on the upper left corner.  When you click the email button, a window will open.  You only need to enter your message in letter form to him.(Below is a Sample Advocacy Letter that you are welcome to use or revise as you see fit.)

We are thankful to each of you for taking this opportunity to do something to make the difference. We need every senator to receive one from residents of his state.Together, we shall help end violence in Nigeria.  We understand that this is not just the government who has to do the work to bring peace, it is also our responsibility too.

We have translated the letter already in Igbo and Yoruba, just Hausa still missing.
