Sub : Amount debited by the bank but money was not dispensed

Dear Sir,

     My debit card (number 001569765223 ) had been inserted into the ATM machine of your pulchock branch at 5.19 PM in normal manner. The withdrawal of rupees fifteen thousand was requested but the money was not dispensed by the machine. However, the amount was deducted from my account number 15223676900067. The transaction ID number is 0143. Can you credit my account by 15 May, 2017 ?

     I told my problem to the on-duty security staff of the ATM along with my ATM slip. He suggested me to wait for at least 24 hours and even if the matter do not get resolved, then contact the branch manager for the inconvenience.

     In early days, i had encountered similar problem but the matter was resolved within 24 hours. My tuition fee is due. So, please credit my account not latter than 15 May, 2017. Let me know, for any further details through mail or telephone. I look forward to hearing you soon.



Sincerely,

The commonly accepted correspondence writing includes following three-steps-writing process (Plan - Write - Complete ).


Tips for writing the body of correspondence :
  • In the first paragraph you must be clear of - what are you writing ? why are you writing it ? and draft the correspondence accordingly. 
  • In second paragraph - mention the reason for backup or justification of the first paragraph. 
  • Finally, in last paragraph - Maintain goodwill, Mention why date is important, emphasize the space and invite further communication. 
The number of paragraph may vary, but the relevant subject-matter should not be missed.
