I certainly wish there were more dedicated insurance agents like you. I will always want to keep this life insurance for myself and my husband. I guess I need to add a second beneficiary so the benefits won’t be paid to my estate in the event my husband has died before me. Thank you.M.P.

Wow. I can’t think of any other time I’ve had an assignment executed so quickly, never mind having two all done! You are definitely the man, Mike. Much appreciated…L.K.

Thank you for your time this morning during our discussion about my insurance policies.

First, I would like to thank you for your assistance in obtaining a $100,000 life insurance policy which is a better plan for me. Jane Corbett, my sister, has been corresponding with, per my authorization. She mentioned to me that you had e-mailed her regarding the cancellation of the $25,000 Policy # MET-2-1543 and $29,000 Policy # MET-2-387 or to just let them lapse. Since the replacement policy of $100,000 is now in place as I received the Certificate Confirmation Statement along with my Certificateholder Benefit Plan, I am authorizing the cancellation of the two above mentioned policies. Again, I appreciate your guidance in getting the best plan in place.R.L.
