Sample letter of a formal request to the Bank Manager for opening a new savings bank account

The very first thing that you need to do to start an association with a bank is to open a bank account. It is the most convenient way to do your regular financial transactions as well as save money and earn interest. For opening a bank account, you must have an idea about the type of account to open (savings account, current account, joint account etc). Next, comes the selection of bank itself. All vital documents regarding your personal information must be kept ready for the perusal of the official procedure. In order to get a savings account, a letter of request has to be sent to the bank, informing them about it. This is a simple request letter to a Bank Manager for issuing a new savings bank account. The article addresses the question of properly presenting the request to the concerned person. The letter can be modified according to need and preference.
