Dear Mr. Lewis,
Thank you for your prompt response. Actually, next week I will be away on a business trip in Arkansas and I won’t return until Saturday. However, I have a housekeeper who comes to clean on Monday and Friday. If your technician visits on either day, she can let him or her in.
My warranty number is A344F56J and is still valid. I will leave this document with my housekeeper in case you need to see it during your visit.

Dear Ms. Kerry,
Our technician will be able to come by your house on Monday. You will need to be sure to leave the warranty documents so the technician can scan them into our system. This is necessary for us to be reimbursed by the manufacturers. Our technician will come by in the morning and try to be gone by lunch; even though you have a housekeeper, they will try not to leave a mess. Safe travels and we appreciate your patience. Thank you for your loyalty to Thompson Appliances.
Sincerely,
Greg Lewis
