Answer 2

Dear Sir/Madam,

I write on behalf of one of my patients, in ... clinic. He has recently been diagnosed with bone cancer and has suffered a great deal already, despite our endeavors to make his treatment quick and effective so that his pain would be relieved.

It has come to our knowledge that your pharmaceutical company has released a certain drug that would improve his condition tremendously. Not only would it make his recovery progress at twice the speed it is progressing now, but it would also help him get rid of the pain he has been living with.

We believe it to be our duty to help him as much as we can, given his current financial situation. This man has recently lost his wife to a disease, but spent a considerable amount of money on her treatment, hoping she would survive her condition. Unfortunately, she did not and he found out about his soon after.

Aware of his predicament, we have been trying hard to help. Our doctor has lowered his fee and we've been sending a car for free to pick the patient up at his home. But there is only so much we can do.

We write to plead with you for some help. It would be crucial for his relief and cure if your company agreed to a free drug program. We understand how complicated such a decision may be and how much discussion and deliberation it must take. However, we cannot stress enough how serious and urgent the situation is. We estimated, if the results are as we expect, this program would last between one and two years.

For further contact and information about the patient, you may write to ... address. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

...
