Dear Sir,

It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that  ____________ (Deceased Person Name), died in a road accident in ____________ (Place) on ____________ (Date). ____________ (Name) was holding a savings bank account No ____________ in your bank. Since he was a bachelor and he has not been in a position to leave a will, I am the nearest most legal claimant to the balance of amount lying to his credit in his account.

I, therefore, request you to transfer that money to my savings bank account No. ____________, also in your bank. I am enclosing a copy of the police report as ____________ (Death Certificate). I am prepared to do whatever further formalities are required of me to be done.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
