We applied for 2nd passport from UK Passport office about a month ago and got them through after only 10 days.
We sent a covering letter similar to the one above (but based upon traveling for work reasons, stating that we were freelance and needed to be in a number of countries over the next 2 years that would not look favourably on certain stamps in the passport eg USA / Iran, Israel / N Africa, etc).
We spoke to the passport office and they couldnt have been more helpful - even talked us through how to fill out the application form (in UK you have to apply on the standard form via the Post Office as if applying for a first passport and enclose your current passport with the application).
