Dear Member,
I am really delighted to have been nominated by Chinese for Labour. I wanted to write personally to you as a member to say thank you and to briefly explain why your support is so important to me and how I believe we can together make Labour a genuine movement for change and return our party to government.
My campaign has been all about bringing Labour together as a party and earning the support of groups such as yours is a central part of that.
