Mom:

I was just in a car accident, no-one was hurt but it scared the crap out of me. Since I have never been in a car accident I was totally freaked out and all that but I am ok, no-one got hurt and we are waiting on the cops to get here. I might need someone to come and get me because I think I am too nervous to drive at this point.

Love ya and I am OK!

Dear Sir,

This is regarding the insurance claim for my car. My policy number is Yt32809721.

The details of the accident are as given below:

I parked my vehicle in the parking area at my office. Unfortunately a delivery truck tried to park between two cars and hit my car from behind, I was also in the vehicle. The body from behind got smashed.

When I realized I immediately contacted your customer care and gave the details. I checked all my Insurance papers and realized that I am eligible for a claim. Your Company sent a representative and filed the report and they told that they will call me soon regarding the insurance and will get the feedback from the company at the earliest.

Kindly look into it and expecting a positive response at the earliest.

Sincerely,

Valerie Helms
