Now, and as a hypothetical exercise, pretend that you are a regulatory official in a country seeking to export (to the United States) livestock from either (a) a sub-national region in your country or (b) a biosecure compartment within your country.

Learning Goal: I’m working on a agriculture writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Now, and as a hypothetical exercise, pretend that you are a regulatory official in a country seeking to export (to the United States) livestock from either (a) a sub-national region in your country or (b) a biosecure compartment within your country. Choosing any actual livestock or food commodity/group, and an actual disease or pathogen, and writing on behalf of either an actual orfictitious country and government (feel free to be creative!), author a one-page cover letter to accompany your country’s formal regionalization or compartmentalization application to USDA APHIS RES.

In your letter, allude to how your country has worked diligently to addressed the U.S. required “factors.”

Be sure that your document (e.g., MS Word or PDF file, to be uploaded) features all the conventions of a standard letter:

• Some semblance of an institutional header (or a detailed “from” address) for your country/government (again, feel free to be creative);
• A date (past, present, or future); and
• The addressee (i.e., USDA APHIS RES) of the letter.
