Hi Everyone,

I still have not received your mutual of Omaha paperwork. I need to receive this form back even if you are not electing any additional coverage. Our company policy automatically covers every employee for basic life and long term disability coverage therefore I need this form back because it has important beneficiary information that you need to fill out just in case anything was to happen.

I have attached a copy of the form. Please review and fax it back to me.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks,

Hello HR Person,

I apologize for the delay in filling this out but I have some reservations about the completion of this document. Due to my religious beliefs I fear that filling out this form will be a precursor of my own demise. The second my signature hits that paper I'm pretty sure something heavy is going to drop on me. I'd like to stay in compliance with company policy but not at the risk of my personal well being. Please advise.

Hey Paul,

I would not wish you to go against your religious beliefs but I would recommend filling out the form just in case something heavy drops on you because that way you will be covered. Better safe then sorry.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Thanks HR Person,

I'm both appreciative of your concern and thankful for your prompt response.

While I do agree in the concept of coverage, I feel that my inability to utilize it in the case of my untimely exit would far outweigh the fact that if something were to fall on me I'd be covered. Plus, being that having it is going to be the catalyst for the falling object I'm rather cautious.

However, after consulting my family, my Shaman and several Witchdoctors, we've concluded that as long as I don't take any extra benefits I should be fine. I've faxed the forms over and I'll be performing a ritualistic spiritual cleansing tonight to be on the safe side. That's just how I roll. Thank you again for all the help and have a fantastic night.
