Dear Minister [Minister’s Last Name],
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m 10 years old. My dad is a placer miner, and I wanted to tell you why I think placer mining is important.
My dad’s job helps our family have food, a home, and stuff for school. He says it’s also like a treasure hunt, and he teaches me about taking care of the land.
I heard some people want to stop placer mining, but that would be bad for families like mine. If placer mining stops, it might mean my dad can’t work, and that scares me.
I know we need to protect nature, but I think we can do that and let miners keep working if they follow rules to be nice to the Earth. My dad says they can do it, and I believe him.
Please don’t stop placer mining. It helps kids like me and families in our town.
Thank you for listening.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
