Subject: Request for Release of Embryo for Private Memorial

Dear [Clinic Coordinator’s Name / Embryology Team],

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to formally request the release of my stored embryo(s), currently held under my name at your clinic, as I have now come to the end of my fertility journey.

After careful reflection, I have chosen to honour this chapter of my life through a private memorial. I understand this is a deeply personal decision, and I would be grateful for your support in facilitating the process in accordance with your clinic’s protocols.

Please could you confirm:
• The steps and documentation required to initiate the release
• Whether the embryo can be released to me directly or via a third party
• The format in which the embryo can be provided (e.g. cryostick, thawed in solution, etc.)
• Any associated fees or timelines I should be aware of

I appreciate your time and sensitivity in handling this request. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further details to proceed.

Kind regards,
[Full Name]
[Date of Birth]
[Patient/Reference Number, if known]
