We are contacting you because our records indicate that you are

				want to request a loan modification or other foreclosure alternative option,
				you must complete and return the enclosed Mortgage Modification Options form
				along with any supporting information no later than [30 DAYS FROM DATE THIS

				documents must be returned by certified mail or similar service to [CREDITOR].
				We will respond to your request within 30 days of its receipt.
Please be aware this notice of the Right to Request a Modified
				Mortgage Loan is different from the Right to Cure Your Mortgage Default notice
				that you may have already received.
The enclosed Mortgage Modification
				Options form provides you with four choices. These choices impact the options
				under the Right to Cure notice and should be carefully considered.
If
				you do not want to request a loan modification, you must still return the
				enclosed Mortgage Modification Options form. Please keep a copy of everything
				you send to us and keep proof of mailing the materials to us.
If you do not return the enclosed Mortgage Modification
				Options form and a completed loan modification application by [30 DAYS FROM
				DATE THIS NOTICE WAS SENT] your right to cure your mortgage default will end on
				[90 days from the date the Right to Cure notice was sent].
If you have questions, please contact [CREDITOR] at [LOCAL OR
				TOLL FREE TELEPHONE NUMBER, EXTENSION NUMBER] or [ADDRESS]. If you would like
				assistance from the Attorney General's Office, you may contact the HomeCorps
				hotline at 617-573-5333 to speak with a loan modification specialist who can
				assist you. We suggest you mention this notice when you call.
