When a holiday is to be taken
abroad it is a wise precaution to insure not only against
loss of baggage and other personal property but also against
personal accident and illness.
The costs of medical and hospital care when
on holiday must be borne privately and can be very high. In
return for a small premium many insurance companies now provide
coverage for this. Travel agencies are usually willing to
make the necessary arrangements.

(a) Application
Dear Sir,
I will be touring Italy and Sicily in a 1996 Peugeot
405 GL for 4 weeks commencing
July 3.
Please let me know the terms and conditions on which
you could issue a policy to cover loss of and damage
to baggage and other personal property. I would also
like to consider coverage against personal accidents
and illness, and would be glad if you would send me
the details. The car is already separately insured.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr. Sanderson,
Thank you for your letter of June 8 regarding insurance
to cover your tour of Italy and Sicily.
I have enclosed a leaflet setting out the terms and
conditions of the insurance for both personal property
and injury and illness, and also an application form.
The coverage for injury and illness extends to the full
cost of medical and hospital treatment and of any special
arrangements that may be necessary for your return home.
Please complete and return the application form by
June 26 at the latest, so that we can be sure of issuing
the policy in time.
Yours sincerely,
