Dear Mr. Sherman, I would like to thank you for introducing me to the Indexed Annuity, a safer investments for my money. Over the past two weeks, the stock market has lost a tremendous amount of money. I have some investments in the stock market also which I had lost some of my principal. With my investment Annuities with you, my principle the Accumulated Value is safe, and with the market down my investment in one account for the Allocated Value is still up over 17,000.00 above the principle, and the other account is up 42,900.00. I feel that my investments are safe from the stock Market and appreciate your knowledge of the Annuities.
