Dear [recipient's name]:

I have been a patient at your office between August 2005 and January 2011. I have recently moved out of state and am therefore changing my medical care to a different doctor's office. Please send all of my medical records from my time of treatment at your office to this address:

Dr. Robert Jones
123 Main Street
Philadelphia, PA 21520

If you have any questions, please call me at (215) 555-1212. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

[Signature]
