SAMPLE - INITIAL NOTICE OF BALANCE DISCREPANCY

In your letter dated   /  /  ,you have indicated that my current balance in the above referenced account is $[AMOUNT] Since this amount does not agree with my records, I am preparing an accounting to find the discrepancy.

Unfortunately, my accountant still has all of my 2___cancelled checks which were delivered to him for the preparation of my 2____ 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.
