The Honorable FirstName LastName

Jefferson City, MO 65101
Dear Representative (or Senator) LastName:
On behalf of [INSERT COMPANY NAME], I am writing to express our strong support for the Missouri Science and Innovation Reinvestment Act (MOSIRA), HB 1511 (or SB 752). The purpose of MOSIRA is to foster economic growth through the creation, attraction, retention and growth of quality jobs by providing a predictable, stable source of funding for building science and innovation companies and infrastructure in Missouri.
The growth of our science and innovation economy is crucial to Missouri and to the future of [INSERT COMPANY NAME]. As our science and innovation economy grows, the new talent and new companies that result provide great benefit to our existing institutions. Additionally, as a member of (MOBIO, or the Coalition for Plant and Life Sciences in St. Louis, or the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute, the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry or the Springfield Chamber of Commerce, etc…) I work with other civic leaders in the region to capture for our region and our state the economic potential of our existing science assets. Such efforts are crucial to growing quality jobs in Missouri and building a solid economy for the 21st Century.
The investment in building a science and innovation industry contemplated by MOSIRA will help lead the way to an economic recovery for the State of Missouri and ensure that our state, and our region, remains competitive in the 21st Century global economy.
Thank you in advance for your support of MOSIRA.
Sincerely,
[INSERT NAME]
[INSERT TITLE]
