问题 Flood Devastates Bangladesh
A massive flood caused by heavy monsoon rains has devastated large parts of Bangladesh. Representatives of relief agencies such as the Red Cross are estimating that as many as 5 million people have been affected by the flooding. Temporary shelters constructed by UN authorities just outside the capital of Dhaka have filled with thousands of refugees whose homes have been destroyed. Power lines, roads and other infrastructure have sustained major damage as well. Hundreds of people have been killed in the initial flood, and there is concern that thousands more will die due to water-borne diseases and other hygiene-related health problems.
The Bangladeshi government is appealing to the international community for increased aid. The basic clean-up operation is expected to take months, if not years. Observers say it could even take decades for this developing nation to fully recover from this disaster.

Dear Mr. Vagana,
As I’m sure you have seen on the news, the people of Bangladesh are struggling to recover from a massive flood. I think it would be a good idea for us to make a small gesture for the people suffering in this terrible tragedy. Instead of holding our annual office fundraiser to help out local community projects, how about we donate the proceeds to one of the agencies that is working to aid the Bangladeshi people? I think this is a more appropriate and deserving cause, given the circumstances.
I have a number of thoughts about what sort of fundraising event we might like to hold. I’m sure other employees have interesting suggestions as well. I think it would be a good idea to post something on the company intranet about this and get people to contribute their ideas.
I look forward to hearing your response on this matter.
Thanks,
