LETTER 2

RE: Money Market Account No.

Dear ,

Federal regulations dictate the number of limited type transactions allowed for your Money Market Deposit Account (MMDA). As required by regulation, we monitor these accounts to insure the transaction restrictions are observed. Upon review of your statement for the month of , we noted that you exceeded the permissible number of limited transactions. Previous correspondence to you on [date] cautioned you about these limitations and included information about which types of transactions are restricted.

You can have us mail a check payable to you, visit the bank to withdraw money, or you can withdraw money with your ATM card. These are not third party transactions and are not limited, although normal transaction fees may apply.

We appreciate and value your business, and we look forward to serving your banking needs in the future. However, if the federally mandated transaction limits are exceeded again we will have to work with you to change your account to one that's more suited to your apparent banking transaction needs.

If you have any questions regarding this regulation or transaction limits, please call me at .

Sincerely,
