-<p><strong>SenderID:</strong> NHS Screening</p>
-<p>Dear ((firstName)) ((lastName))</p>
-<p>We're inviting you to do a test for human papillomavirus (HPV) at home.</p>
-<p>HPV is the name of a very common group of viruses. They do not cause any problems in most people, but high-risk types can cause cervical cancer.</p>
-<p><strong>Why you're being invited</strong></p>
-<p>Our records show you have been invited for cervical screening, previously known as a "smear test", but have not attended or not attended in a while.</p>
-<p>Cervical screening tests for high-risk HPV and can let you know if you're at risk of developing cervical cancer.</p>
-<p>However, for those who have not had regular cervical screening, we're offering an alternative option called HPV self-testing.</p>
-<p><strong>What HPV self-testing is</strong></p>
-<p>HPV self-testing checks for high-risk HPV, which causes nearly all cervical cancers.</p>
-<p>It's not a test for cancer. It's a test to help prevent cancer. <a href="#">Find out more about HPV self-testing</a>.</p>
-<p>It's different to the cervical screening test done at your GP surgery or sexual health clinic. You will take a sample from your vagina and will not need to reach your cervix.</p>
-<p>You might find this more comfortable than cervical screening at your GP surgery or sexual health clinic. If you need additional support to help you do the test, for example, if you have a physical or learning disability, you can speak to your GP practice.</p>
-<p><strong>How it works</strong></p>
-<ol>
-  <li>Order your free kit online.</li>
-  <li>Do the test following the instructions in the kit.</li>
-  <li>Return the kit in the prepaid packaging.</li>
-  <li>Your results will be sent to you within 14 days.</li>
-</ol>
-<p><strong>Getting your results</strong></p>
-<p>If your test is negative, you won't need to do anything.</p>
-<p>If your test is positive, we'll ask you to go for a cervical screening test at your GP surgery or a sexual health clinic. This is to check for any abnormal changes to the cells in your cervix.</p>
-<p><strong>Other ways to get tested</strong></p>
-<p>If you do not want to take part in HPV self-testing, you can still come for your regular cervical screening, even if you were invited months or years ago. Contact your GP surgery or <a href="#">sexual health clinic </a>to make an appointment.</p>
