Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: Mr. Bill O’ Riley

I am writing with regard to Mr. O’Riley, a 53 –year- old- man, who was admitted the hospital on the 2nd of
September and diagnosed with obstructive coronary artery disease. He underwent a coronary artery bypass
graft on the 4th of September.

Mr. 0’Riley has a history of smoking (20 cigarettes per day) and drinks on a regular basis. His body mass index
is high and he usually eats fatty, rich foods.

After the surgery, Mr. O’Riley has attained a routine post operative recovery. He has been advised to stop
smoking and to reduce alcohol consumption. He also has been told to follow a low fat diet and has been
receiving attention from a social worker. His wounds are healing and he is walking well.

After he is discharged from the hospital, Mr. O’Riley needs to go for a follow- up visit to a local general
practitioner and to continue a rehabilitation exercise program.

In order to maintain a good health condition, Mr. O’Riley has requested advice on low, fat dietary guidelines
and healthy, simple recipes. It would be greatly appreciated if you could send the above mentioned information
to Mr. O’Riley at his home address, 9476 Old Dam Road, Goondiwindi, QLD, 4390.

Yours sincerely,
Lee Wong
Charge Nurse
