Recently in Canada, INFACT Canada organized a letter writing campaign
against Nestle and Mead Johnson sponsorship of a Pediatric Nutrition Day at
the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).  I distributed the
information through the Breastfeeding Canada News list that I run (almost
500 members across Canada) and I was told that CHEO recieved over 1000
emails.
The event has been cancelled.   We are now working on getting a similar
workshop (sponsored by Nestlé Nutrition, Mead Johnson, and Abbot Ross to be
held at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children in May), cancelled.

I will forward you the letter and package from INFACT, I think you would
find it useful in drafting your letter.  It includes the specific WHO Code
violations - perhaps you might go with that angle, rather than emphasizing
the Nestle boycott.
