Letter to Queen Victoria-final Dear Queen of England,  As you may have noticed or not, Traders from your country are sending dangerous drugs called Opium to our country and our citizens have been using this drug continuously. There have been many deaths due to this drug and we cannot contain or keep away this poisonous drug from our country. We can understand why you have banned or kept Opium away from your people and why you despise it, but what we cannot understand is why you continue to let British traders sell this to our country. This is an outrage beyond belief. Why would you let other countries or people suffer for your own expense and for your own profits? Many families and friends have been dying and it is becoming uncontrollable as my own son died from overdose of Opium… my lovely boy has been engulfed by this dangerous drug and it killed him. There are powerful reasons why you should stop trading opium to China. Many people are dying and suffering because of your country. It may not matter to you but this tragedy will come to haunt you in the future. We will stop sending goods and resources to Britain including tea. We will fight for this if you do not stop the transferring of opium to our country. We will not stand for this injustice. For both our sakes, stop and destroy the opium, and we will be happy to be willing to trade with you once more. I ask you one last time stop selling our citizens death and leave us be or war will be inevitable.
