BEST PARTNERSHIP
Dear (Customer Name):
When a business partner suffers a fatal accident, it's a devastating time for all those concerned. The remaining partners feel a great loss after spending years with a person with whom they made investments, acquired companies, and planned ahead.
But it's also a time for change -- a change that could affect both you and your family. If a business partner dies, who will take his or her place? The surviving spouse? A child? How much cash will the surviving family receive? And when?
These decisions should be made well in advance -- when a partnership first forms. There should be:
1. A written agreement, including a method of valuing the business shares
2. A definite source of cash instantly available to pay to the family
We'd like to talk with you about how valuable these arrangements can be for you and your business. Because of the importance of the subject, I will call you for an appointment on ( ).
Sincerely,
