Subject: Do Not Contact List – Current Employer Included

Dear _______,

I am writing to inform you that Guidepoint has placed the ultimate parent company – ______ – of your current employer, _____, on a list of companies whose employees are not permitted to participate in client consultations (the "Do Not Contact" list). As a result, Guidepoint has suspended your membership in Guidepoint Advisors, and you will be ineligible to participate in future client consultations until such time as (a) your employment status changes, or (b) your current employer’s policy on employee consulting is amended.

If you are not currently employed at ________, please login and update your profile with your correct employment information, or contact us at [email protected] If you believe the inclusion of your company on Guidepoint’s Do Not Contact List was in error, and/or that you are permitted to participate in client consultations, please provide written confirmation from your current employer that you are permitted to participate.

Please be advised that you may reactivate your profile if your employment status changes in the future. You may apply to reactivate your profile at www.guidepointglobaladvisors.com or by contacting Guidepoint at [email protected] and furnishing your new employment information.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Membership Services
