The document urges the reader not to let their life insurance policy lapse, as it would only be worth 70 cents if sold, but was originally intended to provide for one's family. It prompts the reader to think about why they purchased the policy in the first place - to care for their family - and what might happen to the family if the policy is not reinstated, such as the children being unable to continue their education or the family having to sell possessions to survive. The document encourages the reader to reinstate the policy if they still care about providing for their family.
