    Hi [doctor’s name],

We’d like to apply to Corporate Angel Network’s Medical Flights. They offer free seats on business or commercial aircraft for travel to medical care, and we are checking whether they are taking requests.

They need a signed confirmation of the diagnosis from you. Their form and instructions are here: https://www.corpangelnetwork.org/patient-eligibility

Could you do that when you have a chance? I can send you the link, or bring a printout to our next visit. Thank you for everything you do for us.
