If you find it a bit hard to write the letters yourselves there are
some prewritten letters at the sos-lynx site.
http://www.soslynx.org/
They can be a bit hard to find and since it is a flash site i cant
give you a link directly to the letters.
go to the site, press "home" and at the left bottom corner you
have "model lobby letters".

Both snail mail and email would be super if you could.
It would also be good if you personalized them just a bit.
There are three prewritten letters, all important, but the one about
the Donana recovery plan is the most urgent of all.
There is no recovery plan after 2006!!!!
