Re: [a bed bug task force for New York City]

Dear Council Member [last name]:

I am a resident of your district and am writing to express my great concern at the rapid spread of bed bugs in our city. I believe the city should form a bed bug task force to establish best practices and help our citizens. Cincinnati and Toronto are making progress in the fight against bed bugs and have ambitious plans and initiatives.

New York City needs a bed bug task force.

[optional but strongly recommended: a brief personal statement about your bed bug experience or the signs of the spread of bed bugs in your neighborhood or your own bed bug policy concerns]

I am writing to request your support for a New York City bed bug task force.  Please let me know your position on this issue and thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

[Name]
[Address]
[optional: phone number]
