Text of the letter from bank confirming Min. Funds Tier 1

Post by mhkhan » Thu May 28, 2009 4:50 pm

Instead of a Bank Statement I am providing a letter from the Bank confirming the funds I have maintained in the last 3 months as proof for Maintenance funds.
The letter is on the Bank's letter head along with the required stamp and signatures.

Just wanted if the following content of the letter is acceptable:

" As per your request, we confirm that a minimum balance of X amount has been maintained in the account no. for the period from Mar to May 2009."

Thanks in advance.

Also mention your account numbers.
Add an extra statement that total balance in the account has never went below X amount.

Thanks for the reply. But doesnt it suffice their requirement by saying the "min. amount maintained" for three months has been this much?

Yes it does suffice. But remember you will be sending this letter to HO where the basic requirement to apply for caseworker's job is "not" to have common sense and basic logic. Get it from bank if you can. If you cannot get it from bank...don't loose your sleep over it.

"The minimum balance of XXXXXX.XX has always been maintained in the A/c XXXXXXX and sort Code XXXXXX held by Mr Abc Xyz, for the period covering <From Date> to <ToDate>.

Dear All,
I finally got the letter revised by the Bank for my maintenance funds . It is as following:
___________
Bank's letter head, stamp and signatures.

As per your request, we confirm that a min. balance of X amount has been maintained and the balance has never fallen below this amount in the account No. XXXX for the period Mar 1 09 to Jun 1 09.

___________

Just wanted to know if I am good to go with this letter.

Secondly, is it OK if I just show the letter and no additional evidence as proof for maintenance funds??

Many thanks,

Thank you for the reply. In my case my name doesnt show on all the pages of the bank statement therefore the letter from the Bank is the only concrete evidence I have which has my name of course.

Do you think it is ok only to count on the letter?

I would submit bank statements with that as there is no name on the letter from the bank and for all that the HO know it could be a bank account for Richard Branson.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the HO rejected that letter from the bank without the bank statements to back it up.

And what do you mean when you say "in my case my name doesnt show on all the pages of the bank statement"? The statement is in your name surely? It's your name and address they're sent to?

Does your statement contains your account no. on all the pages?
But yes, if you have letter from Bank this should(alone) is fine as well as mentioned on page36 of the guidance notes mentioned below.

Letter from a financial institution iv) regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) or, in the case of overseas accounts, the home regulator (official regulatory body for the country in which the institution operates and the funds are located) confirming funds:
The letter from the financial institution regulated by the Financial Services Authority or home regulator should show:
•the applicant’s name;
•the account number;
•the date of the letter;
•the financial institution’s name and logo;
•the funds held in the applicant’s account; and
•that the funds of £2,800 or £800 have been in the bank for at least three consecutive months on and immediately before the date of the letter. The letter must be dated no more than one calendar month before the date of application. We will not accept letters which show the balance in the account on a particular day as these documents do not show that the applicant holds sufficient funds for the full period needed.

Thank you all,

Yes the letter has all the requirements which are as per the page 36 (iii)Letter from bank confirming funds and that they have been in the bank for at least three months ( including name, accont no., date, stamps, signs etc).

My reason of not showing the statements is since I am showing my joint account with my wife, the bank system only shows my wife's name as the primary account holder and my name only on the last page. Its a weird thing but not very weird for Dubai Banking standards.

My appointment ifor applying s tomorrow but before getting your answer I was hesitant to go with the letter only. However, I feel confident now.

thanks,

Mentio about joint account in your covering letter so that if HO contact your bank they are aware that you have joint account.

@mmkhan

brother am new to this forum and my entry is refused on the grounds of MAINTAINENCE. Actually I too submitted a letter instead of bank statements and there is a slight mistake on the letter.
I made fixed deposits and the letter does not state that the funds in my account are readily available. So, my entry is refused. He accepts that the I have maintained a min balance of 2800 pounds in my account for the last three months and he also agrees that the balance never went below the require minimum but what the extra infor he requires is that "the letter must state that the funds are readiliy available to me".
Do you have any idea about this????

Cheers!

Well I cant thank you enough for your timely response. I was all ready to apply tomorrow.
MY letter does not say that either which means it is not complete. I will try to add this but this just shows that they are making it extremely difficult to earn points in Maintenance.
Hope you can sort out your letter and get through the next time.

Thank you,

Dear Friends

It would be quite helpful if the letter from the bank says that"These funds can be made readily available on request". Because I have seen in a refusal notice " Your bank letter does not confirms that these funds are readily available. Dont leave chances for AR.

this is to certify that Mr.xxxxxxAccount No.xxxxx, currently holds a total of Rs.2.5Lacs and we confirm that these funds have been in bank since 13/02/09. The funds did not fall below Rs. 2.5 Lacs at any time during the last three months. The above FDR is ENCASHABLE Immediately on demand by the depositor.

Could anyone advice me is this letter is worth and correct to submit as a suporting evidence with admin. review or fresh application etc. Please comment or point out any mistakes.

Also the bank people did one typing error in the spelling of confirm. Instead of typing confirm they typed cofrim.....will this be okie or must need to be changed.....do i still tell the bank to write the word READILY available???

Dear friend

U have a good chance of success in the AR unless the reviewer gets fussy about any new proof submitted. But I think ur bank letter is in continuation of the previous proof submitted so wont be a problem.
Go ahead as I believe AR should always be exercised.

Dear Freinds

Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions and advices. I really appreciate your endeavours.

One more thing I want to make clear that:
Although it is stated on the bank letter that: the above FDR are encashable immediately on demand by the depositor but actually the amount of deposit, date of deposit and date of maturing was shown in the bottom of the letter.

So, this in appropriate english affects me in future or I should request another letter. Would you think, it will creates a problem.
Also, somebody told me that the word "ENCASHABLE" is not suitable for the letter. Is it????Do I still need to request the bank to include the sentences like: I have access to funds or the funds can be made available at any time.
am still confused!!!!!!!!!!!1

Please could anyone clarify

Dear ALL,

I have a letter from the BANK for my current account detailing the funds and that the balance didnt fall in the last 3 months. However, when I read the mail with the person with Fixed Certificate, I have asked Bank to provide me a letter stating that the account is CURRENT account which wasnt mentioned in the first letter.
Do you think its safe to show the two letters instead of just one.
