Dear Grand Master,
I recently attempted to join your organisation only to be rudely declined by one of your members.
I thought you’d like to know that your member, (I’ll save him the embarrassment of naming him) used racial prejudices in declining my application.
I happen to be of African decent, both my mother and father are from Nigeria but I myself was born in England. I feel that your member used that information against me when denying my acceptance. I must admit that I was shocked when I was refused as I believe I would be a valuable member of your organisation despite the colour of my skin, (which is black).
Hopefully you will be able to do something about this unfortunate situation and offer me a membership in your organisation in your response to this letter. Failure to do so will lead me to the conclusion that your organisation as a whole is perhaps racist and if this is the case then I will go to the newspapers with that information and publicly embarrass everyone associated with your organisation.
I look forward to and expect your speedy response,
Sincerely,
Dean Griffiths.
