A Sample Letter of Request Daniel Smith 4540 Main Street, South Brunswick, NC, United States (910) 754-2885 October 25, 2008 Jennifer Lewis (336) 765-9027 Dear Ms. Lewis: As per our discussion in the college last week, I am requesting you to give me information about you recently launched Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) by your company. The Sales Executive of your company who had come to my office to collect the monthly premium had told me about the scheme that will be launched in a fortnight. Yesterday's newspaper had the advertisement of the scheme but did not give all the details. I searched on the internet but I got information in bits and pieces. I want all the details about the scheme like initial investment, monthly installments, locking period etc. This will help me in taking a final decision for investment. Let me understand how the scheme will help me in securing my amount and what profits I will make after 3, 5 or 10 years as per your scheme. I'm looking forward for your positive reply. You can contact me on my phone number or my personal email address - daniel_smith@rediffmail.com. Yours truly, Daniel Smith |
