Sample Letter Format to Bank for Updating Email ID in SB Account

I am here sharing my friend's personnel experience with KVB. She has opened an SB account in Karur Vysya Bank 3 months back. While filling the application form, she didn't give email ID. Usually this bank will give account kit with passbook, cheque leaf, ATM card, ATM PIN number and internet banking User ID and Password. Out of curiosity, she want to use Internet Banking using the user ID and password. But the user ID is disabled and the it has to be activated by sending an email to activateiuser@kvbmail.com with a message that Internet Banking user ID and password safely obtained from the bank. Then only they will unlock the feature to use internet banking. The problem here is, she did not give her email ID while opening the account. Only the registered email ID should be used for unlocking the internet banking option. Now she approached the bank and asked bank official to include her email ID. They said, submit a request letter to the bank manager stating that you are going to updated the email ID. Then she submitted the request letter and got activated her Internet Banking feature. So if you are facing such situation, and you don't know how to start writing a letter, then follow the sample letter provided below to updated your email with your bank account.

Letter format to bank for changing old 500 and 1000 currency notes

No body expected such announcement will come from the Prime Minister Mr. Modi on 08th November 2016. The present Rs. 500 / 1000 are just termed as an ordinary paper and the people who holds these currency now can exchange them to any bank to get new currency notes (in the denominations of Rs. 500 / Rs. 2000) or to its equivalent valid currencies (such as in the denominations of Rs. 100 / Rs. 50). It is the difficult time for black money holders (money came illegally) and fake currencies. But the people who have legal money are also suffering a lot for this hard decision. They have to approach the bank from 10th November 2016 and handover such old Rs. 500 / Rs. 1000 notes in the bank they wish. The last date to submit them is 30th December 2016. After that, such currencies will no longer accepted in any bank for exchange. So what is more difficulty now the people facing is finding time to approach the bank as they may have their regular day-day activities / work. Bank is also being crowded so that it is the question of how fast they can exchange the old notes.
