I am not sure if the letter was sent by post or by email.
Either way the recipients obviously could not open it because they, so far, have not managed to reply.
Here is the letter which I have taken from Homepaddocks Blog :
Letter to Te Pāti Māori co-leaders:
To Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi,
I am writing to you in light of the news that New Plymouth Councillor Murray Chong’s car was shot at and the sustained harassment he has experienced. This is being linked to his views on Māori Wards.
It is my belief that no matter our political differences we must condemn political violence.
It is evident that many New Zealanders have very strong feelings in relation to matters around the Treaty of Waitangi and this Coalition Government’s approach to race-based policies. Feeling strongly and advocating stridently is one thing, but I fear that if political leaders do not condemn violence and harassment in no uncertain terms, we are likely to see an escalation and more of the kind of behaviour Mr Chong is being subjected to.
I would like to suggest a joint a statement of condemnation to be signed by me and you both as co-leaders of Te Pāti Māori. We can make it clear that we disagree on practically everything else, but on the matter of political rights and commitment to anti-violence we are totally aligned.
Our vast differences of opinion mean that this statement could be a powerful way to cool the temperature of political tensions in New Zealand. We need only look at the terrible scenes in the United Kingdom to know that we do not want to go down that path here.
I will also being reinforcing to Hobson’s Pledge’s supporters that we are an organisation that utterly rejects political violence and believes that peaceful disagreement is at the heart of democracy.
Hobson’s Pledge intends to put out a statement at 5pm today about this and I hope to hear from you beforehand as to whether you will join this call for non-violence.
Yours sincerely,
Don Brash
Perhaps it was this letter that inspired the invective I watched from Ms Ngarewa-Packer in the speeches after Question Time yesterday. What a nasty person she is.
Home paddock also covers her speech but I am not going to give it credibility by including it with this post.
The fact that the Maori Co-Leaders did not have the courtesy to reply to Brash shows they are only interested in promoting themselves and their party through activisim and I say may their time in New Zealand’s Parliament be shortlived unless they change their attitude.
That I think is very unlikely.
In conclusion I think Don Brash must be the last of the optimists if he thought his letter was going to get a positive and conciliatory response.
No Minister 
Brash has always been such a naive schmuck in politics. I must be one of the few who didn’t celebrate his taking over the leadership of National, and I hold him responsible for losing an entirely winnable election in 2005.
He was completely white-anted by English and Joyce in that election, not to mention that Labour literally cheated by overspending and vote harvesting in South Auckland. He’s a man of many flaws, but he was entirely kneecapped on all sides. And I consider him more audacious than naive. He wants you to think he is naive.
2005 – was not that the election that Labour bought Fish and Chips for all Labour (well maybe some or even a fair number of) voters in South Auckland.
A forerunner to the Maori Partys’ escapades at Manurewa Marae last election.
Appealling to TMPs better natures us pure waste bar the fact it puts on record their no condemning violence….
Lays ground work for tarring them.as unequivocal thugs with receipts to back the contention.
Cashflow must be slowing down for grifters given Packers latest speech… It fairly drips with show me the down, why is my money not here. All very mau mauing the man
