Dear Ms. Cross:
I wish to make application for the reimbursement of 41 weeks of LTD premiums paid by me prior to going on pension. I was advised to make application to your office and that you would forward to the Board of Trustees for their decision.
Enclosed is a letter from Canadian Pacific Pension Services with notification of my date of retirement and that I am receiving pension benefits.
Thank you.
Yours truly
