Dear Ms. Bloomwood:
Congratulations! As a recent graduate of Bristol University you are undoubtedly proud of your performance.

We are therefore offering you, Ms. Bloomwood—as a graduate—a free extended overdraft facility of £2,000 during the first two years of your career. Should you decide to open an account with Endwich, this facility will be available immediately.

Dear Ms. Bloomwood:
Further to my letters of 3 May, 29 July, and 14 August, you will be aware that your free graduate overdraft facility is due to end on 19 September 1999. You will also be aware that you have substantially exceeded the agreed limit of £2,000.
The current balance stands at a debit of £3,794.56.
Perhaps you would be kind enough to telephone my assistant, Erica Parnell, at the above number to arrange a meeting concerning this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Derek Smeath
Manager
