Dear Mr Wan Jie,
The Shark Trust is a UK registered charity (NGO) which was founded in 1997. The Trust is now widely recognised as the leading NGO in Europe working on shark conservation to ensure a future for this threatened group of animals.
It was with great interest that we became aware of your involvement in ground breaking initiatives in China working to raise public awareness regarding the subject of shark finning, and your formal proposal to the National People's Congress for legislation to control the trade in shark fins.
The Shark Trust board recognises companies and individuals who make outstanding contributions to shark conservation by offering SHARK CHAMPION awards. The board of the Trust would like to offer you a SHARK CHAMPION award, and this has been unanimously approved by the Trust board of directors. We are also offering the award to Mr Xingsheng Zhang and to Mr Ding Liguo, and are delighted that Mr Xingsheng Zhang has already accepted.
The awards would be presented at a special lunch at the British Ambassador's residence at a time convenient to all.
We would deem it an honour if you agreed to accept this prestigious award.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Richard Peirce
Chairman
The Shark Trust.
