Sir,
Subject – Request to avail locker facility
This is in regards to my existing savings account with your bank, under the name XYZ/Account Number. I am an old customer with your bank and have my numerous transactions dealt with, through account with you.
It may not come as a surprise to you that keeping valuables and important documents at home is not safe these days. Moreover, owing to my schedule and routine, I need to ensure that all my valuables are kept in a secure place at all times.
Thus, I would like to avail the locker facility with your bank, to ensure absolute safety of my assets.
I, thereby, request you to provide me with complete details regarding the locker facility at your bank, like locker rental charges, documents required and other necessary information.
Your kind consideration is solicited.
Thanking you
Yours Sincerely,
XYZ

Points to Remember

1. It is very important to follow the format while writing a formal letter. You neither write less, nor exceed the word limit. You have to be very precise while writing a formal letter.
2. You must ensure that your content does not seem repetitive. Repetition of words/sentences or content as a whole invites cutting of marks. Try and use synonyms in case you see that a word is getting repeated a number of times in the letter.
3. Your letter should be written in a particular flow. The subject should highlight the main purpose of letter. The introduction of your letter should effortlessly lead to the body, which should lead to the concluding paragraph.
Thanks
All the Best!
