I should like to remind you that the bank does not undertake to honour cheques drawn in excess of the balance standing to the credit of an account unless arrangements for the granting of overdraft

By so doing you will materially assist the work of the bank and preclude any possibility of cheques being dishonoured by reason by insufficiency of funds.

Letter to a Customer informing him of the Dishonour of one of his Cheques.

LONDON BANK, LIMITED.,
SMITHAM BRANCH,
8th December, 200X

C, Jones Esq.
8, Tredegar Road
Smitham,

Dear Sir,

I regret to inform you that your Cheque No. 016384 in favour of J. Smith for Rs. 5,500/-, and dated 5th December, 200X, was presented for payment this day through the London clearing, and was returned unpaid by reason of lack of funds on your account. Unfortunately, There was not sufficient time for me to communicate with you before returning the cheque.

Possibly the matter of provision for this cheque escaped your attention, In which, case I would urge the importance of retaining sufficient funds to meet your cheques, or of arranging an overdraft against the deposit of satisfactory security.

The present balance on your account is Rs. 3,500/- to your credit.

Yours Faithfully

Letter to Customer requesting him to dose his Account.

LONDON BANK, LIMITED,
PRIVATE SMITHAM BRANCH.
6th Januar3 200X
Charles Smith, Esq.,
21, Martlake Villas,
Smitham.

Dear Sir,
I regret to inform you that a cheque of Rs. 800/- drawn on your account has today been unpaid owning to there being an insufficient balance on your account.

Since the 6th November last it has been necessary to return unpaid four cheques for which you had neglected to make provision. I am sure you will understand that such steps are injurious not only to
your own credit, but also to the reputation of the bank.

My directors do not view with favour accounts that are so irregularly conducted, and, under these circumstances, I am reluctantly compelled to request you to close your account.

As a sudden termination of banking facilities might prove inconvenient to you, your account will be continued for a reasonable period to enable you to make other arrangements. I would ask you,
therefore, to make arrangements for the termination of your account on or before 28th February next.

Yours Faithfully
Herbert Lowndes
Manager.
