 My Dear Sir: 



Permit me to thank you, and through you The 

 Prudential Insurance Company of America, for the 

 very prompt receipt of checks for $50,000 in full 

 cash settlement of claim on the life of my father, 

 Peter Fenelon Collier, who demonstrated his belief in 

 Life Insurance in The Prudential by carrying policies 

 in your Company for several years. 



Proofs were completed and checks delivered 

 the same day and your Company did everything possible 

 to effect a quick payment of claim. 



Assuring you of my appreciation, I remain 

 Yours very truly, 



The Prudential pays claims small or large 

 immediately upon the receipt of satis- 

 factory proofs of death.
