Sample e-mail alert to Ontario Teachers Pension Plan


mail to: inquiry@otpp.com, teachersprivatecapital@otpp.com

subject: OTPP: Join Class Action Against Barrick Gold

Hello, I am writing to ask that the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan join the class action lawsuit against Barrick Gold, alleging that the corporation's stock traded at artificially high prices due to misleading and false statements made by the company. This class action already has over 9 law firms pursuing it.

I am aware that the OTPP has lost approximately $100 million over the last few years by investing in Barrick Gold, and feel that it is the fiduciary responsibility of the OTPP to divest now from Barrick and join this action. We should never have been invested in a company that lies to its shareholders, the communities in which it operates, and the public.

Thank you in anticipation of your positive response,

[YOUR NAME, AFFILIATION]
