Sub: Warning Letter after Cheque Bounce
Dear Sir,
Your Cheque No.000-123-456 dated (Date) drawn on (Bank name and branch name) for (Amount of money) has been refused by the said bank. this rejection has been due to two counts:
- There is an insufficient amount in your account.
- Your signature does not tally with Bank’s teller.
Mr. (Name), it is crime to issue a cheque when the amount is insufficient in your saving account. It is a trouble for the two banks, the one to whom you issued the cheque and the second (to the bank) on whom you drew it. If clients like you cause us so much botheration, the total work of the bank suffers heavily. Under the rule of the (Law code), you are liable for criminal proceedings. I am returning the dishonored cheque to you.
Now it becomes your duty to issue a fresh cheque with your real signatures. But prior to all this you should go to the Bank and deposit the required amount of (Money Amount) otherwise the second cheque will meet the same fate.
I hope this much of courtesy and cooperation from your old bank is more than sufficient. This is a special concession given to you only. If it had been the case of somebody else, the cheque would have entailed penal action.
Please cooperate with us for the best customer’s service.
Yours Truly,
