Hi John, this is (your name) with AIL. You don’t know me, but I recently sat down with your friend London. Did she
mention I would be giving you a call? No problem. I was out to see London about some benefits that she has access to
through her union. For the first time now, she has the ability to pass these exclusive benefits along to a select few that
she cares about, and you were the first person that she mentioned.
Now what this entails. There are several benefits that are available to you through London’s sponsorship at no cost.
(AD&D, discount card, CSK) there is also a package of permanent benefits that has been negotiated at discounted rates,
but those you would have to qualify for. The reason I am calling is simply to set up a time to briefly explain how all of
this works for you. I have 8 members I see on a daily basis, but as a favor to London, I am trying to squeeze you in.
What time do you and your spouse get home from work?
