Once again world leaders are preparing to meet; this time at the UN World Summit in New York. If you care about the poverty in the world and the needless death of people through starvation and want of basic medicines then please take a moment to send an e-mail to Tony Blair.

The text of the default message still refers to the G8 Summit that was in Gleneagles so use the text below to make it relevant to the World Summit:

Next week you and your international colleagues have the opportunity to make poverty history by delivering crucial changes on trade justice, debt and aid.

You and the other world leaders meeting at the UN World Summit in New York can stop a child dying every three seconds. You can stop the policies that create poverty and instead begin to transform the lives of the world’s poorest people.

Please use your position and influence at the UN to:

- change the unjust rules of trade, respecting poor countries’ rights to decide on trade policies that will help end poverty
- cancel all the debt of all the poorest countries that need it
- deliver at least $50 billion more in aid each year starting now, and make it work better for people in poverty.

Along with millions of others around the world, I’ll be wearing a white band to remind you of what you must do and waiting to see if you deliver.

The time has come again Mr Blair. Please do not squander this second opportunity to make a difference.
