Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to express my concern regarding the hike in the monthly insurance premium of my car, which you are planning to implement by next month.

I purchased my car a year ago and I have been paying the insurance amount to the ‘State Insurance Company’ till July this year. I found the premium with your company was 5% less than what I pay, and that is the reason why I opted for your company. However, within two months, you hiked the amount more than what I used to pay to the previous company.

I am a self-employed person, and the economic recession wave which hit the country recently has severely affected many, including me. I find it difficult to manage all the expenses smoothly at this time, and an increase in my monthly budget by $450 is really a burden for me at present.

I would like you to reconsider the decision and l suggest you to look for any alternatives so that it would affect your customers less severely.

I look forward a positive reply.

Yours faithfully,

Malcom
