Too Good to Be True?  Find out for Yourself and Act Now !

In case you have not yet heard of this, we would like to inform you
again that the premium for the 1994 IFCSS Medical Insurance Program
has been reduced, as of August 15, from the original $396.00 per
year to the unbeatable rate of $372.00 per year, or $186.00 for six
months, with absolutely no compromise in the quality and range of
coverage outlined in the original plan.

This is the best deal you will ever get in the market, and it comes
with a comprehensive coverage.  The "products" and services offered
by IGS, the administrator of our program, have been known to have
an indisputable history of reliability.  Plus, you have the double
assurance that IFCSS will always stay on your side to lend you
extra assistance and support when you file your claim, should you
need them, which, to be perfectly honest with you, rarely, if ever,
happens.  We rate your satisfaction as far more important to us
than the number of enrollments we get.     

So what are you still waiting for?  

If your school has started before you had the chance to see this
announcement, don't panic, as it may not be too late for you to
enroll in our program now.  If you act now, you may still have time
to beat the deadline your school administration set for your to
waive the plan they recommended/imposed, and sign up instead for
the IFCSS Medical Insurance Plan, a plan explicitly designed to
help you save not only your money -- while still receiving superior
service -- but the hazards and risks you may run into when you
choose other less creditable ones.   

For detailed information about the IFCSS Medical Insurance Program,
or to obtain a brochure and an application form, please call IGS at
their toll-free number

              1-800-394-2500

For your convenience, a Chinese-speaking customer service
representative will be available to take your calls upon request. 
Or, if you feel more comfortable talking to one of us at the
headquarters, please don't hesitate to give us a call at

               (202)-347-0017

We would be delighted to hear from you !

For those of you who had paid the premium immediately before the
reduction was negotiated and worked out between IGS and IFCSS, IGS
will be willing to refund you the difference, as long as the
effective date on your new or renewed policy is August 15, 1994, or
afterward.  To receive a refund, please address a written request,
with the ID number and effective date of your policy included, to
IGS at
           
            International Group Services
            10530 Rosehaven Street, Suite 350
            Fairfax, VA 22030

Due to the overwhelming responses and inquiries we received at the
headquarter that threatened to disrupt our operations in other
regards, we regret that we are no longer able to process your
request for refund.  Please be advised to contact IGS directly on
this matter.

Thank you for considering the IFCSS Medical Insurance Program as
THE plan for you.  You will see that it is a smart choice that you
won't ever have the occasion to regret.

Have a successful, fruitful, and healthy school year !
