Dear Sir,

I should be glad if you would kindly send me one of your forms S.B.No.4. relating to procedure on death of certificate holder of National Savings Certificates, as I require to deal with certificates bought by my son who unfortunately is now presumed to have lost his life in air operations last January.

My son’s Registered No. is AU.42988. I am sorry to trouble you in this matter but could not obtain a copy of the Form from the local Head Office to-day.

Yours faithfully,

[underlined] P.S. [/underlined] My son’s Christian names are Harold Leonard.
