Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing this letter to ask the stopping of mine and my husband’s Westpac credit card. The card is a Gold Card with the number: ----4 ----0 ----9 ----1, open until 11/04. The reason is that we are living in the UK for the seeable future, and will not be using the credit card, and do not wish to get the annual fee.

If there is any other information you need, please do not wait to contact us at the above e-mail address.

Thanking you in advance.
Yours Faithfully
