My eldest daughter got married at the end of last summer and is now in the process of contacting various agencies to update their records with her new last name. Yesterday she e-mailed and shared with me the notice she sent to the government's student loan agency.

To Whom It May Concern:

You have me in your records as Alyssa Davis, Social Insurance Number ### ### ###

I got married this summer and am assuming my husband’s last name. Please update your records to reflect my new name: Alyssa Sampson. I am including a copy of my marriage certificate, and if there is anything else you need please contact me to let me know.

I met my husband at university, so in a way Student Loan played a role in us meeting, and we are very grateful. If you would like to send money in lieu of a gift to congratulate us both, you may use the banking information you currently have to do so.

Sincerely,

Alyssa Sampson
