SECOND MAILING ABOUT LIFE INSURANCE (ALSO INCOME TAXES AND FIXED-RATE ANNUITIES)
2/2/24
Hi Friend –
As you may remember from the email I had sent to you during the holidays, I have been helping my father with her tax business, but also with spreading the message about the importance of life insurance, and also ways to earn high guaranteed interest rates on fixed rate annuities. My college education and work experience has focused on marketing and public relations and business.
Life insurance-
Several deaths and illnesses over the last few months (of clients, friends and relatives) have reinforced the importance of life insurance. Below is a link to several videos I made for you to watch.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=life+insurance+video+kelly+sisco
Fixed-Rate Annuities –
Regarding fixed-rate annuities, in the last few months, my father has helped several clients to get over 5.0% guaranteed for 5 years or more on various investments with top-rated insurance companies. Please let me know if you are interested in the current rates and how to participate, and I will send you a follow-up email.
Income tax returns-
On the home page of my father’s website, there is a summary of the steps involved in her preparing and e-filing your tax returns, quickly and thoroughly. The link is http://www.TransFranSisco.com
++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Phone call – If you are interested in having a phone conversation with Fran, please email me a few dates and times that work for you. Sometimes a 15 minute conversation can lead to savings of hundreds or thousands of dollars.

WELCOME TO THIS WEBSITE!
Hi Friends! (Like many of us, I am two sides of the same coin. In my case, the left-brained side (analytical, present-based is rooted in my male side) and the right-brained (creative, future based is rooted in my female side) with both sides working together to hopefully enhance my soul.
I am currently (effective 9/30/23) living as a full-time transgender female and plan to stay this way. For a short period from 7/7/23 to 9/29/23, I presented as a full-time male, however it was unsatisfying and not my true self. For 12 years from 1/1/11 to 7/6/23 I lived as a full-time happy transgender female. Before 1/1/11, I lived as a cross-dressing male, usually presenting male during weekdays, with many weekends and evenings as a trans female.

A.
WELCOME TO MY “holistic” (personal and business, and left-brain/right brain) TransFranSisco website – See below:
I’m sharing on this site (1) stuff from my right-brain such as performances (acting, comedy, singing, plays, writing, poems, visual art, songwriting, essays etc.) (the tabs begin with RB) AND (2) stuff from my left brain, such as information about taxes, financial planning, investments, insurance, business consulting, etc. (the tabs begin with RB) . The tabs at the top of this page could help guide you. I believe that my full-time life as a female since 1/1/11 has enabled me to better integrate these 2 sides of my brain and be more creative, productive and enable me to share myself and help and enjoy people more effectively. Please contact me. The best way is to my cell at 914.589.1013. Otherwise see CONTACT tab. (See ABOUT ME for bio and info about me).
