Dear [Client]:
A recent change in the U.S. tax law* has created an opportunity for you and
other owners of government sponsored deferred compensation (section 457)
plans. If you were a participant in a deferred compensation plan and no
longer work for the employer, as of January 2002, you may elect to roll your
plan into an IRA account.
Why would you want to do this?
There are a number of reasons to move your plan assets into a rollover IRA
including:
- A greater variety of investment options
- Control of the amount and timing of withdrawals
during retirement
- Ability to potentially minimize income taxes on the
money
Making the correct decisions now may help you enjoy a wonderful, worry-free
retirement. (My assistant or) I will be calling you soon to discuss this
opportunity or you may call me at (phone number) for more information on
your retirement choices.
Sincerely,
[Name]
[Title]
P.S. If you know someone who has left government employment (such as working
for the city, county or state) please let me know so that I may share this
information with him or her.
