You have received a letter from your bank, asking you to acknowledge receipt of a new bank card. However, the card was missing from the envelope. Write a letter to the bank's head office. In your letter, » explain why you are writing » express concern about the missing card » ask them what they intend to do

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to inform you that I have recently received a letter from your
bank
, and an envelope which was supposed to contain my new
bank
card
. Unfortunately, no
card
was enclosed in the envelope when I opened it. I am hoping that you would issue me another
card
and hold the delivered one to stop any misuse. I have been maintaining a savings
bank
account with your Deportaire branch since 2018 and my account number is SA25874210. Immediately after the occurrence, I telephoned the
bank
to explain the problem, but I could not get through to the right department, even though I waited in line for over half an hour, which was extremely annoying. In the letter, you asked me to acknowledge the receipt of the
card
, but obviously, I cannot do
this
as I have not received it. I am now worried because the lost
card
might cause trouble. What if the
card
is misused? Will the
bank
be responsible for that? You should cancel or hold
this
card
so no one else can use it. Please
also
send me a new
card
by secure means. I hope to hear from you soon. Yours faithfully, Beck Turner
