Maintenace of Funds

[kamal_ece]

Hi Chetan,

what is the difference between the Cover Letter and Covering Letter in the document Table Of Contents document?

This question is for the GROUP:

So far I have statements upto Dec 31st 2009. As for the maintanance purpose I am not showing anything specifically but asking the case worker in the Covering Letter to refer to the Bank Statements for the past 3 months from October 1st 2009 to Dec 31st 2009.

I understand that I can show nearest upto one month but to be on safer side is there anything else I need to or can do or just take it easy?

Is this allright?

Below is my Covering Letter:
