Euphemisms going a bit far...

"New unexpected life events provider" — doesn't.

Instead, as the body of the email explained,

Unexpected Life Events includes Short Term Disability, Long Term Disability, and Life & AD&D Insurance….

Also, "AD&D" is "Accidental Death and Dismemberment", not "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons".
