Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren

the letter goes on to say that the claim has been settled and the case is considered closed.

The LEO entries for Altbestand are not working for me. Does anyone have an idea?

thank you for the many great suggestions!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Steffen Walter: perhaps sth. w/ "historic" (policy, contract, case, claim)? IMHO "business" is too general as the letter deals with a specific case/claim. / Agree with Deborah's reasoning.

  -> Thanks, Steffen; I don't care for "historic" in this context, but any of the others might work
agree  Deborah Shannon: old/pre-existing contracts - policies taken out before some landmark date - maybe before the portfolio was taken over by another company or before new regulations came in
