This will really depend why the account was closed in the first place and whether it has been completely shut down. In theory if an account closure has been finalised and has been closed for some time; most banks will request that you start from scratch and open a new account. This is basically because they will need to ensure that all details are current and up-to-date for security purposes. If, on the other hand, it is just a case of re-activating an account which has recently been disabled, then I would use the below layout for a letter;
- Begin the letter with your address, telephone number and date. You will also need to write on the account number of the account which you wish to reactivate
- Dear ... (it is always best to use the name of the bank manager or whoever you have been asked to contact, if not sir/ madam will suffice)
- I am writing to request that the above bank account is reopened.
- In the sentence to follow this you will need to include some background or explanation. For example; I closed this account last month as I was planning a move abroad, however, this fell through and I write to request whether it is possible to re-open it
- Close the letter with a polite sentence such as 'I thank you for your help with this matter and if you require any more details please don't hesitate to get in touch'
- Finally sign at the bottom with yours sincerely or yours faithfully.-
