Dear Campaigner, Nestlé, the world's largest coffee company, are demanding millions of dollars from a country where 11 million people are facing famine. Take action to stop this scandal now! www.maketradefair.com/go/scrooge/ Ethiopia is currently experiencing a terrible drought. This crisis has been compounded by the collapse in the global coffee price, which many of you have been helping us campaign on. The Ethiopian government fears this drought could cause the worst famine the country has ever faced. Nestlé has demanded that Ethiopia pay over $6million in compensation for a company that was nationalised 27 years ago, a company that Nestlé didn't even own at the time. The $6m represents 0.01% of Nestlé's turnover last year. But for Ethiopia, $6m would buy food for over a million people for a whole month. Take action now: 1.. Click below to send a message to Nestlé, telling them to drop the claim for $6m from Ethiopia: www.maketradefair.com/go/scrooge/ 2.. forward this email to 15 or more friends, family and colleagues Make your voice count. Join the Big Noise to make trade fair. Thank you very much. Alison Woodhead Trade Campaign Manager PS - please forward this on to any of your friends, family and colleagues who might be interested in helping or might like to join the Big Noise to Make Trade Fair.
