Dear Dr. Jones
Re:

Smith Family
11 James Avenue, Leeds, LS2

Further to your referral of the Smith family, for help concerning bereavement issues, in March 1998, we have
offered them an appointment at the Leeds Family Therapy and Research Centre on Wednesday 13th July at
4.30pm.
We will keep you informed of their progress should they go ahead with family therapy.
If in the meantime you have any further issues regarding this family please contact Dr. Peter Stratton.
Yours sincerely

Dr Peter Stratton
Family Therapist
On behalf of Leeds Family Therapy Team
