Congratulations on your marriage! Now the fun begins.
No, we're not talking about long walks on the beach; we' re talking
about your new last name.
If you've chosen to take your husband's name, you'd
better start letting people know, and this includes those involved
in your financial life. One of the first changes you'll no doubt
make is to your credit card accounts.
The form letter below shows just how easy it is to
get your new last name put on your account -- and new charge card,
too. Personalize the letter below by entering your specifics in
the areas in red. You can print out
this Web page and make your changes by hand or copy the body of
the letter and paste it into a document where you can make your
changes on your PC.

addition to my new name, your data should indicate my new address.

my card name account records:

In addition to changing the information on my account,
please issue me a new credit card in my new name.
If you have any questions about these changes, you
can contact me by mail at my new address or by telephone at number.
I am enclosing a copy of my marriage license. This
will verify my name change and ensure accurate spelling on my updated
account records and new credit card.
Thank you for your prompt attention to my request.
