Sample Letter
To,
ABL BANK.
Westwood.
Dated: 22nd May 20XX
Subject: Application for change in address and name.
Respected Sir,
I John, had recently opened my account in your bank. While doing all the procedures I had made a mistake that I had not detected earlier. Today, when I had received a thanksgiving letter from the bank through email, I had come across mistakes that were done by me. One of which is incorrect name spellings and the second is a mistake in my address.
The spelling of my name is JOHN and not JON whereas the address stated by me is also wrong. The stated address was street no. 211 house number 4, Westwood. The correct address is Street no. 11 and house number 4. Westwood. I am extremely sorry for stating the wrong name spellings and also the wrong address. I understand that you will have to update my records another time and this will take your precious time. With due respect, I request you to update my record.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. JOHN
