2nd sample

Subject: A request for an urgent ultrasound due to complications

I am Dr. Adams, a gynecologist in The City Hospital. I am writing this letter to refer one of my patients to you for urgent screening of her breasts. Her name is Miss Lisa, and she is a 40-year-old lady. She came to me yesterday for a regular screening of her breasts.

During the screening, I noticed a lump in her right breast. On investigation, I came to know that she is having many other symptoms of breast cancer. However, I am not sure about it. So, I am referring her to you for a detailed ultrasound of her breasts. I fear that the tumor could spread to other parts of the body which then will be very hard to treat.

Please carry out her ultrasound as quickly as possible so that I can refer her to any experienced doctor who can deal with the lump in the best possible way.
