Dear Sir,
Re: Request To Repair Home of Melda Ramsey in Clarke’s Road, Ashton Hall, St. Peter
I write this letter in my capacity as the Barbados Labour Party’s Candidate for Saint James North in the upcoming General Elections.
I write this letter in support of the earlier request by Miss Melda Ramsey of Clarke’s Road, Ashton Hall, Saint Peter which was made to the Rural Development Commission since 2003 or thereabouts for repairs to be carried out to her home in which she resides.
Miss Ramsey is a fifty-two years old blind person. She is unemployed. The roof of her home is in terrible condition and is badly in need of repairs. She is also in need of indoor toilet and bath facilities, since her present such facilities are outside in the yard.
Her thirty year old son, Mr. Ryan Ramsey, is the only other occupant of the house. His occupation as a bartender does not provide him with the financial resources to fully undertake the repairs on his own accord.
I sincerely hope that your Commission can assist her on this matter in light of the circumstances of her case.
Yours faithfully,
