Dear Mr. Black,

I am writing to you regarding my loan #XXXXXXXXXX.

I was working with someone from your team on a loan modification. The last I heard was that they were working on starting the modification. At that time, I was not working, and your associate said that they could do a modification using unemployment compensation as income. I thought that was a little strange, but I hoped it would work.

I am starting a new job Monday, and I will be able to cover my bills and put some money in savings as well. It will be tight for a while, but I expect that my part-time work online will bring in at least $100 to $300 per week.

My monthly bills come to about $900, and I am also planning to work on the internet at least three nights a week.

When I work online, I can make more than I make on my job.

I am certain that you have received all of the information I faxed to you about six weeks ago. If there is any more information that you need, please let me know.

I really don’t want to lose my home, and I believe I can manage to make enough money to save it, especially if you come through with a loan modification.

Thank you for your time and help.

Kathleen A. Gagne
