Dear
In your letter dated / / ,you indicated that my current balance in the above referenced account is
$__________. Since this amount does not agree with my records, I am hiring an accountant to
find the discrepancy.
Unfortunately, my accountant still has all of my 1996 cancelled checks which were delivered to
him for the preparation of my 1996 tax return. I have made arrangements for these checks to be
returned to me and should have a reconciliation ready for your review within the next ten days.
Once I am satisfied with the accuracy of the accounting, I will forward a letter, with any required
documentation, to your attention.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation in this matter.
