Dear {mp_name},
I am a constituent in {town}.

Please would you raise this with Parliament's Portfolio Committee on International Relations and Cooperation, and ask that South Africa keep voting for an end to the embargo? I would be glad to hear what you can do.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
