Sample Answer 1 (170 Words, 10 Sentences, 6 Paragraphs, Band 9)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter in reply to a letter that I received from your bank few days ago. In your letter, you indicate that $240 is overdrawn from my account that is why, I will be charged by $70. However, I think this mistake is done by your employee or computing system.

As you know, I was staying in a rented house, and my freight goes directly to the house owner account from my account. Last month, I had changed my house; moreover, I wrote a letter to you for requesting not to vest the money anymore to the owner. I have got the acknowledgement from you of my application; but, nothing is done about this matter. Perhaps, this money is overdrawn from my account because one of your employees wrongly sends the money to my former owner.

However, I will request my earlier house owner so that he returns the money. I expect you will give immediate attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving your response.

Yours faithfully,
John

Sample Answer 2 (187 Words, 11 Sentences, 6 Paragraphs, Band 9)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing in reply to a letter I received from you a few days ago. In your letter you state that I am $240 overdrawn and that you will be charging me $70.

I would like to point out that the reason I am overdrawn is because of a mistake made by your bank. If you look through your records you will see that I wrote several weeks ago explaining the situation. For the last twelve months, I have been paying $300 a month for a car I bought last summer. The monthly payments were taken directly from my bank account. However, two months ago I sold the car and I wrote to you instructing you to stop paying the monthly installments. I received a letter from you acknowledging my request, but, for some reason, nothing was done about it. Another $300 installment has been paid this month and this is the reason why I am overdrawn.

I would like you to contact the garage where I bought the car explaining your error. I would also like you to ask them to return the money.

Yours faithfully,
Sandra Roll
