Your ref:

Dear Mr

Thank you for your teleletter dated 25 September requesting me to telephone you over an important matter concerning Bradford & Bingley.

Unfortunately, owing to matters arising between Bradford & Bingley Building Society and myself, I am not in a position to discuss matters relating to them by telephone. I am, however, happy to discuss them by letter and would be grateful, therefore, if you would put your concerns in writing and send them to me at:

where I assure you they will receive my immediate attention.

Thanking you in advance.

Yours sincerely,
