Electron impact excitation of the astrophysically important 2s-2p multiplet in lithium-like Mg(9+) is discussed. The collision strength for this optically allowed transition is computed using a two state model ion with the close coupling approximation. At high impact energies a distorted wave approximation is used. The contribution from distant encounters is determined by the Coulomb Bethe approximation. The Burgess-Tully method is used to interpolate the results and to evaluate the thermally averaged collision strength from which the rate coefficient is readily obtained.
