Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my displeasure and concern about the unsealed credit
card
envelope in my mailbox. I hope your bank or insurance policy addresses such
an outcome properly.
On 7th March 2024, I arrived home and saw an open CIBC bank envelope in my doorway. Unfortunately, when I checked the content, the card
was missing, so I rushed to your nearest branch the next morning to make a report. However
, I am yet to receive any attention.
Secondly
, I am troubled about what went wrong, whether someone took the card
, and it is now in the wrong hand, because this
card
is already linked to my account, and they can withdraw or commit fraud with my credit card
.
Lastly
, this
is my first time experiencing such
an incident, so I am not sure how your policy would address this
or my next line of action. You can reach me on 333777999 for advice on what to do next.
I look forward to your swift response and advice.
Yours faithfully.
