Task 13 Read the insurance business letter.
Enquiry for insurance rates – Cash in transit
Dear Sirs
We normally pay into bank each morning our takings for the preceding business day. The sums involved are sometimes considerable especially at the weekends: takings on a Saturday may amount to as much as &6000.
We bank with the local branch of the Barminster Bank on West Street, Milton – about half a mile from our premises.
We therefore wish to take out insurance cover for the followings
1 against loss of cash on the premises, by fire, theft or burglary:
2 against loss of cash in transit between our premises and the bank;
3 against accident or injury to staff while engaged in taking money to the bank or bringing it from the bank.
Please let us know on what terms you can provide cover for the risks mentioned.
Yours faithfully
