Dear Mr. Duprey

Lawrence Duprey

Dear Mr. Duprey,
I think I always had an inkling that I would pen such a letter one day, except, I didn't know who it would be addressed to.

Indeed, I have been mulling over names like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Lakshmi Mittal, Rupert Murdoch, Roman Abramovich, Warren Buffett, Carlos Slim, and even any one of the Walton sisters.
However, over the past few days especially, I realise that these folks dont have the slightest reason to even pretend that they know me or that I matter, for that matter.

In fact, I write to you now because having once been an employee in your sprawling empire, my efforts for your company directly resulted in asset growth (33 percent), market share (by about 15 percent) and a profit margin that broke the $10 million dollar barrier (annual) for the first time ever. Also, having invested in life insurance in CLICO, it was to my utter disappointment that my policy was unceremoniously cancelled, because CLICO lost my information during an agency relocation. Yep. Lost it. Cancelled policy. Also, the little annuity that I had put aside remains locked away from me.

Technically, a CLICO executive might be able to earn enough in the time it takes to have a coffee break, to cover all my financial investments in your company.

Yes,it may be small to you, but it is great to me, and I would like to have it back, as respectfully as when your agent sold it, and when I paid for it. But I understand that that power is now out of your hands, and that I will have to await government's decision on the matter. However, I hope you see the great connection that you and I have - much greater that any of the the names at the beginning of this letter.

In the meantime, or even in lieu of what I have said so far of our connection, I'd like to ask a small favour. Very small.

Could you spot me some cash for some life investments that I want to make? I don't need much... just one of your month's salary should suffice.

Kindest regards,
ND

PS: If things are a bit tight for you, would you be a kind liasion and forward this note (and a recommendation) to Mz. Sakal?
