When writing a letter to your bank manager, the important thing to remember is to be polite and courteous, as these are the people who could deny your application to open an account if they wish. Asking to open an account by writing a letter is better for people who don’t feel comfortable with sending important information over the Internet.
Before you send your letter though, it may be best to speak to someone from the bank to find out what information you will need to include in the letter. They may suggest that you come into the bank itself to open your account, which is always an option that you can do, but it is up to you if you want to write the letter.
You will also need to do some research into what type of account you wish to open and reading about any requirements that may be in place to do with deposits and such. Once you have gathered all the information, you can then make an informed decision about the account type you wish to open. This is an important choice to make so don’t rush into it without the proper research. Make sure that you have gathered any other information that you have to include in your letter such as your social security number, date of birth and contact information. Have all these with you and to hand when you write your letter.
Now it comes down to actually writing the letter. Write all your personal information in the top right hand corner of the page, with the banks address and contact details on the light hand side. After this you can start to right the letter. Begin by addressing your bank manager. If you don’t know their name, simply write ‘Dear Sir or Madam’. Start writing the subject body which should include what account you want to open specifically, and perhaps some reasons why. Also mention your deposit plans. Close the letter in a friendly and courteous manner.
