A letter from Mr Megrahi
* Details of my family circumstances in Libya I understand have already been furnished to you. It would be my wish to return to my family to spend the short time that I have left with them. I am a family man: first and foremost I am a son, husband, father and grandfather. I have been separated from my family as a result of what I consider to be an unjust conviction. I have tried to bear that with a degree of equanimity and dignity. I have refrained from recourse to publicity in respect of my plight despite my burning belief about the injustice that I have suffered. There have been considerable delays in the process to challenge my conviction. Through my legal advisers I have voiced my concern about that to the court in a measured way. I have never publicly taken a stance which would seek to impugn your nation and its system of justice. I have behaved with respect to the due legal processes which I am subject to. It is with the same respect that I make application to you to enable me to return to my country and my family with what is left of my life, as a son, husband, father and grandfather.
