Dear President of IOC,

How do you do? As we all know, the 29th Olympic Games is going to be held in Beijing in 2008. Now the selection for its mascot has begun. I, a Chinese ordinary middle school student, want to recommend a kind of special animal to you---the Tibetan antelope. First, the Tibetan antelope is mild and friendly, which I think could symbolize peace of the world and friendship among people of different countries. Second, this kind of animal not only can endure extremely low temperature, but also can run very fast. These

characteristics also symbolize the spirit of the Olympic Games---“FASTER, HIGHER, AND STRONGER”. Therefore, I think it is the suitable mascot for the 29th Olympic Games.

Could you please consider my recommendation? If you want to know more about the Tibetan antelope, please do not hesitate to contact me. I also have some pictures of them. I can send them to you next time.

Thanks very much!

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
