• Any of the text to the right of the "}" symbol can be edited; eg:
  • ^{M 9,129}Thank you for purchasing your new
• can be changed to:
  • ^{M 9,129}Thank you for purchasing your used
• etc.....
• Please note, any string that begins with an "$" MUST be kept in as this is a token used by Platinum and is pulling various information from file to print on each individual letter, for example, the customers name or vehicle make etc.

• When you have finished editing the letter, click <File>-><Save> and then click <File>-><Exit>
• Now click<Accept> and then click<Finish Editing>

You are now ready to run your amended Mailshot by pressing<Start> and then following the on-screen prompts.
