2nd November 2007
Dear Sir,
We shall be opening a London branch of our business at premises which are being prepared for us at 982 Cheapside, London, E.C.1.
We wish to open an account with you for the use of the manager of this branch. The manager’s name is Mr. Gore Edward Wilson, and he will be authorized to sign cheques on our behalf. These cheques will also carry the signature of the branch cashier, Mr. John Gordon. Will you please make an appointment for these two gentlemen to visit the bank in order to complete the necessary formalities and provide specimens of their signatures? This appointment can be directly with Mr. Wilson, who is already at the Cheapside address.
We refer you to the British Clydeside Bank, Glasgow, who will be pleased to answer any inquires you wish to make. We take it that you will not require any further references.
As soon as we hear from you we open the account with a cash deposit of GBP 5000.
Yours faithfully,
John Baker,
Managing Director.
