Good Day.

As per file attached "warfarinclaim3" attached, this month you refused to pay a PMB medication, all this after last month you refused to pay the full amount.

I'm sick and tired of going to get my medicines and come out sicker because of the incompetence of your staff.

THIS IS BECOMING RIDICULOUS AND I DEMAND URGENT ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE.
