Dear Mr. Green:
I am writing concerning claim #760. The amount that your adjusters have set for the
damage caused by Hurricane Harry to my barn is unacceptably low. The amount that your

company has offered would not even allow doing the work my self, as the materials alone
would cost almost $300 more than your estimate.
I am including the estimate from our independent contractors that I have asked to inspect
the damage to my barn, and their estimates vary between $1,500 and $1,750.
I would like your company to take into consideration the estimates I have provided and
reevaluate your settlement offer. If you continue to deny the fact that your offer is
unacceptably low, I will need to seek legal counsel.
I will appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Mathew Liverpool

Democracy is a form of government. The word democracy means ruled by the
people. Abraham Lincoln described such self-government as government of the
people, by the people, for the people.
The citizens of a democracy take part in the government either directly or
indirectly. In a direct, or pure democracy, the people meet in one place to make the
laws for their community.
Most modern democracy is representative democracy. In large communitiescities, states, provinces, or countries- it is impossible for all the people to meet as a
group. Instead, they elect certain number of their fellow citizens to represent them in
making decisions about laws and other matters that affect the people. An assembly of
representatives may be called a council, a legislature, a parliament, or a congress. A
government ruled by the people through their freely elected representatives is
sometimes called a republican government.
The democratic way of life recognizes the equality and dignity of all persons
regardless of race, religion, sex, or social standing. It holds that everyone is equal in
court trials and other legal matters. It provides freedom of speech, freedom of the
press, and freedom of religion.
Almost all governments claim to be democratic, but many are actually
totalitarian. Totalitarian governments have almost complete control over lives of the
people.
