Dear Mr. Davis,
Thank you so much for allowing me to provide the enclosed information regarding your family’s long term care insurance needs.
As you know, long-term care is an important issue that can affect your family’s emotional and financial well-being. We believe all of our policyholders need to ensure they are adequately prepared for the impact of long-term care expenses.
Understanding how you can prepare for long-term care on your own can be quite a task – that’s why I am excited to offer my assistance in helping you understand more about long-term care and the options that may be available to you.
I’ve enclosed a proposal for your review. When you are ready, I would be happy to schedule a convenient time to meet with you. I can assure you that it will be time well spent.
If you prefer to schedule an appointment now, please give me a call at 770/888-8129, or stop by our office. I will give you a call in a couple of weeks.
Sincerely,
LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE PROPOSAL
