Sample Letter 
to companies, Industries and 
others to not promote the 
use of Premarin
 
  
  
     
       
I was 
      very disappointed to learn that [name of promoter] promotes Premarin, 
      which is produced by Wayeth-Ayerst, a division of American Home Products. 
      
Premarin is derived from pregnant mare's urine. The offspring of 
      these mares are sent to feedlots for a few months to be fattened up and 
      then to slaughter.
Premarin is not only deadly to horses, but can 
      be detrimental to human women as well. The Physicians Committee for 
      Responsible Medicine found that Premarin can also lead to cancer of the 
      breast, ovaries, uterus and Fallopian tubes. There are a wide variety of 
      humane choices which all equal or surpass the efficacy of Premarin, but do 
      not include the suffering mares and the murder of their foals. 
For 
      more information, visit: http://www.uan.org/premarin/index.html. Please 
      research this issue in detail and you will understand why many women are 
      saying "No" to Premarin.
Thank you for your time and consideration. 
      I look forward to your reply. 
Sincerely,
