The following letters are to be used as sample model letters and not form letters. While some of these letters may apply to your individual situation, they should also be examined and modified to fit the specifics of your request. Merely copying one of these letters word for word is not recommended. Take the time to look these over and feel free to modify them to fit your needs. *Please note-items in brackets "[ ]" are indicators that you should provide the proper information as suggested by the text within the brackets.
