Attention.
I write in respect of the fund with reference number: WDRC/L-F/UK/0407/19 brought to Reserve bank from World Debt Remittance Committee, London, United Kingdom in your name.
From the information contained in the file that accompanied the fund, the fund was supposed to be paid to you by World Debt Remittance Committee, UK before now, but all their efforts to contact you proved abortive.
The fund is equivalent to R126,000,000.00. Are you aware of the fund?
I await your urgent response, so that we can commence your fund transfer/release process.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours Sincerely.
Mr. Kuben Naidoo.
Deputy Governor, South African Reserve bank.
