Subject Problem of Open Manholes in Laxmi Nagar

Sir,
With due regards, I wish to bring to your kind notice that the conditions of man
holes in our area are very unsatisfactory.
Recently, a six year old child had a providential escape when he fell into an open
manhole in our area. Luckily a passerby rescued him. The frightening fact is that
open manholes have become the source of imminent danger to the lives of the
residents of this area, especially small children. These manholes with their gaping
mouths can be death-traps for unsuspecting passerby. They can also cause major
motor accidents.
I would request you to instruct the concerned staff to take immediate necessary
action to get these open manholes covered before they claim any life.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,
Sub: Request for installation of ATMs in our office premises and
Maharaja Engineering College, Varanasi premises
***************
Our Branch has been making a lot of progress since 2012 April. The deposits of the
branch as on 31st March 2012 was Rs.24 crore and advances was Rs.12 crore. The
deposit position of the branch as on the last week Friday 15th February 2013 is
given below:
Total Deposits Rs. 26 crore (target for March 2013 Rs. 27 crore)
Total advances - Rs. 14.5 crore (target for March 2013 Rs. 14 crore)
Many of our customers have expressed the need for having our bank's ATM in our
office premises since it would facilitate their withdrawing cash any time they need.
Similarly the professors, lecturers and students of Maharaja Engineering College,
Varanasi where our branch extension counter is there, have also requested us to
instal an ATM in their college premises.
We also feel that establishing ATMs in these two places will improve customer
service at our counter since people interested in drawing small amounts need not
stand in the queue in our office and also extension counter. This will enable us to
concentrate on improving our clientele base and further enhance our business

position. There are four ATMs of other banks but our customers desire to use our
ATMs for convenience and sentimental reasons also.
Kindly issue orders for installation of ATMs as requested above.
Yours faithfully,

Date: 14th February 2013

Dear Sir,
Sub: Request for extension of business hours by one hour more per day
**************
As you are aware many members of our Export Promotion committee maintain their
current accounts with you for a long time. Our committee has also opened its
current account with you in the first week of April 2012.
The service rendered by your staff members is very good. However we find that
your branch functions from 10.00 am to 2.00 pm and 2.30 to 3.30 pm only. Many of
our members collect cash from their buyers and return to their shops only by 3.30
pm and hence are not able to remit that day's collection into their bank account
immediately. They are forced to retain the collections overnight in their office posing
risk of robbery and allied problems.
Many customers have requested to take up with you so that you bank branch
functions for one more hour every day i.e. 10.00 am to 2.00 pm and 2.30 pm to
4.30 pm. Correspondingly one hour more service can be extended on saturdays
aslo. In case this request is accepted it will not only help your existing customers.
Many of our members who do not have their accounts with you will also be opening
their accounts and your business position will improve considerably.
We are sure that your bank management will consider our request favourably.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,
Sub: My Education Loan A/c No. SHN/23456/2007-- EMI repayment
****
I availed Education Loan of Rs.6 lakhs in the year 2007 from your branch for study
in SMR University. I completed my B.Tech degree in March 2012. I attended campus
recruitment tests conducted at the University. But I could not get placed since I had
lesser percentage of marks than they insisted upon. After completing the degree I
am applying to various software companies for recruitment and am hopeful of
getting employed shortly. In the meantime I have received your letter dated 1st
February 2013 asking me to pay EMI. My father has retired from government service
two years ago and we are living on his monthly pension. My mother is home maker.
Under the circumstances, I am unable to repay the EMI as per schedule. Kindly
grant me holiday for further six months period.
I am hopeful of getting employed in a software company or in a nationalised bank
by that time and I will commence paying my EMI of Rs 9000/ p.m. from May 2013. I
am sure you will consider my request favourably.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,
Sub: Our Term Loan account -- Request for EMI postponement
*****
We would like to thank your Bank management for having sanctioned us term loan
of Rs. 200 lakhs, using which we were able to decorate our show room and provide
AC and other facilities. We availed the term loan on 16th August 2012 and started
the work in right earnest. However on account of delay in execution of work at
different levels the full decoration of the shop could not be completed. In spite of
that we commenced our sales show room on 15th January 2013 and are receiving
good number of enquiries.
As you are aware there is a lot of competition faced by us from other leading
companies like Vivek & Co, Vasanth & Co, Shah & co etc. and we are employing MBA
graduates as Sales Marketing personnel to push up our sales. Our team is visiting
different business establishments, offices and is canvassing for more sales of
television, home theatres, music systems etc. We are hopeful of improved sales in
the next few months -- say by July 2013.
We were given a holiday of 6 months for payment of EMI (Equated Monthly
Instalments) of Rs.5 lakhs. Our first EMI will have to be paid by 16th Febryary 2013.
Since the complete decoration work could not be completed on time and sales

having not picked up well as per our estimates, we are unable to pay our EMI from
February 2013 . We request you to give us a further holiday of six months and we
shall commence remitting our EMI starting from August 2013. We have been paying
the interest on loan debited in our account regularly by debit to our cash credit
account.
In view of the reasons explained above, we are sure you will consider our request
for postponement for payment of EMI to August 2013.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully
