Good Morning Mrs. Yeny.

You are probably very busy; I totally understand that! I’m writing to follow up on my latest
appointment. I am feeling good, the medicine has been effective and finally I can sleep very

concentrations problems anymore. But doctor, I still having problems with my appetite and
that worries me too much.

Then, would you be available next week to check this? It would be great to hear when I can

time next week.

I would see you soon in the next medical appointment.

Thank you very much.
