Thought of the Week

Letter to a bank

Dear Sirs,
In view of what seems to be happening internationally with banks at the moment, I was wondering if you could advise me correctly.

If one of my cheques is returned marked 'insufficient funds’, how do I know whether that refers to me or to you?

Yours truly,
Customer
