Kind Attn. Mr. Bajpai- Chairman

Kind Attn. Dr. Kim chai ooi- Country Manager

This commmunication is meant to be seen at your level, as people in the team down the level have done cheat and fraud using your organization name. Inspite of various discussions with them, i don't see things are moving at all in system.

I am being harassed unnecessarily because of wrong commitments. Organization wrong practices are demonstrated by team members.

I am sure whether this mesaage will reach you therfore ensuring it is broadcasted from media to ensure more customers should not fall under this trap.

Thanks

Thanks for your confirming commitments on email. I have recd. the policy papers. Unfortunately all commitments made by you are not appearing in policy papers.

Assured Return of 10% on 6th year - 247256/-

215% Assured Guarenteed Banifit on 5th year - 64500/-

Shoping Voucher of Validity one year -10000/-

Policy Validity i had asked the tenure to be for 5 years, however it is mentioning 20 years.

I am surprised if commitments made to me from you/team are genuine. Please note that in case of any fake commitment, i prefer to surrender the said policy back and look for refund.

You are advised to confirm on commitments on Company Letterhead latest by Friday failing which i will approach to Ombudsman and cancel said policy with full refund.

Thanks & Regards
