Dear Sir or Madam,

I am Robert residing in Cape Town, London. I own Morris Garages car since February 2021 and taken an Insurance from your prestigeous insurance company since the time I own this vehicle.

I have been sent a notice from your company regarding the change in the monthly insurance cost with immediate effect, which is not a great sign. Hence, I am writing this a dissatisfaction regarding the sudden hike in the price of insurance.

I am currently paying $100 and with the increase of fifty percent of insurance cost might be too much for me to pay. I have been your valuable customer since last 4 years and never made any claims till date. I should be eligible to claim my NCB (No Claim Bonus) with te reduction in my insurance cost, instead of increasing the overall cost.

I request you to consider my request not to increase the insurance cost of my car since me being your valuable customer and waive off the additional increase in the amount.

Thank you for considering my request and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faitfully,

Robert Bradshaw
