SUB: YOUR APPLICATION FOR A LOAN OF TK 75,000

Dear Sir,

It is our pleasure to find you as one of our very old and valued clients. We hope, you will
continue enjoying our personalized services as to your banking needs.

You have applied for a loan of Taka 75,000 to buy one motorcycle under our Consumer
Credit Scheme, which is a very popular collateral-free loan program.

One borrower, under this program, has to submit to us a number of undated cheques of his
bank account written in favor of our bank in advance and duly signed, which we are
supposed to use for settlement of the loan, if the borrower ever fails to adjust his or her
debts.

Salaried people whose monthly salaries are commensurate with monthly repayment
installments of the proposed loan are eligible to avail of this loan facility.

As we have found out, your present monthly basic salary is Taka 16,000 and your takehome
pay (after adjustments of cuts by your employer) is Taka 9,000. In no circumstances we can
ask you to pay more than TK 3,600 as loan installment. Because, at least Taka 5,400 (one-
third of your basic pay) must be at your hand to defray your own personal financial needs.

If you avail of Taka 75,000 to be adjusted in five years, your monthly installment for
adjustment of the loan will be around Taka 6,700, which does not cover by what you are now
drawing as your take-home pay. We are extremely sorry to regret your loan application.

SUB: SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET FOR PURCHASE OF FURNITUR

Dear Sir,

You would be happy to learn that our Branch made a net profit of Taka 14 crore in the last
year ending December 31, 2008. We are the leading bank branch in and around Shantinagar
and Mogbazar areas and the number of our clients and customers is increasing at
exponential rate. On an average, 200 customers visit our branch everyday.

We are facing acute shortage of furniture to cater to our needs both for our clients and our
back office personnel. There has not been any addition of furniture in our branch since its
inception in the year 1998.

Now that OTOBI, a reputed furniture manufacturer in our country, has offered 15 percent
discount on office furniture we request to your esteemed authority to allot in favor of our
branch a supplementary budget of Taka 3 lac on account of furniture so that we can furnish
our branch with adequate furniture befitting our corporate environment.

Thank you so much, sir.

Dear Maroof,

Hope, this letter will find you hale and hearty. How are you doing with your new assignment
in the foreign exchange department of your bank branch in Agrabad?

I would advise you to appear in IBB examination to be held in next November. Initially, I had
thought the exam would be a tough one. But, believe me, the exam was easy and smooth. I
appeared in all the papers of IBB exam Part-I that has just been held.

Among all the subjects I found Accountancy a bit difficult. But I sensed a great relief as I
could solve the question on final account with some typical adjustments. I am pretty sure I
would qualify in all the subjects.

To pass the IBB exam what you have to do is read thoroughly all the question papers of the
previous IBB examinations and find out their appropriate answers from notebooks that are
available in the market. You may also attend the tutorial classes on all the subjects that are
especially arranged by IBB authority in Dhaka.

Keep in touch me and convey my best regards to your parents.

SUB: OPENING OF F.C. ACCOUNTS IN AMBARKHANA BRANCH

Dear Sir,
As you know, our branch has already achieved all its business targets of the current year
seven months ahead of the annual closing due on 31 December 2009.

You would be excited to learn that when in the beginning of this year the number of savings
accounts was 1,900 and that of current accounts only 56 our branch can now pride over its
present number of accounts, which is 4,500 savings accounts and 1,200 current accounts.
Our total deposit as on April 30 stands at Taka 60 crore while our total advance stands at
Taka 22 crore.

As everybody knows, Sylhet is famous as the richest abode in Bangladesh for expatriates
working abroad. All the branches of all the commercial banks in the entire Sylhet Division are
dependent on Sylheti wage earners for building their deposit bases. Those bank branches,
which offer the privileges to expatriates to open their F.C. accounts, are gaining the best
fruits in their deposit hunting.

We would be immensely benefited if your esteemed authority could arrange permission from
the central bank for authorizing our branch at least to open F.C. accounts of Bangladeshi
expatriates as a special consideration, if at this moment our branch is not given A.D. license
to operate other foreign exchange businesses.

Thank you so much.

Dear Sir,

We are grateful to your esteemed bank authority for sanctioning a term loan of Taka 25 lac in
favor of our firm Bright Poultry in 2008. As you will find in your records we paid our loan
installments regularly for the last 15 months.

As ill luck would have it, on the ground of epidemic bird flue we were compelled by the
concerned authority to cull our 3,700 chickens and the government has not yet given any
compensation on that account.

In such circumstances it is not possible for us to repay the quarterly installments regularly.
The due date of the next installment of Taka 3,75,000 is June 16, 2009. We would be highly
obliged if your authority could grant rescheduling the term loan to our firm to be adjusted in
nine years instead of in five years so that our quarterly installment stands at not more than
Taka 2,00,000.

Thank you so much.

Dear Sir,

With due respect to your esteemed authority we like to inform you that our Srinagar Branch
had earned a net profit of only Taka 2 crore in the last year ending 31 December 2008
though the branch has the potential to make much more profits. This branch is commercially
a very important branch for its strategic location.

Almost all the branches of all other commercial banks in Srinagar are doing better business
compared to ours and their employees leave their branches at 5 PM after balancing all books
of accounts; after office hours the bank employees of those banks visit different shops and
trade houses to interact with businessmen for deposit hunting and for recovery of overdue
loans. On the other hand all the employees of our Branch have to remain in the office
everyday till 7 in the evening to complete their daily works.

The secret behind the success stories of other banks is computerization. All the bank
branches in Srinagar, except our branch, are fully computerized. As a result the efficiency of
those branches has increased manifold.

We appeal to your esteemed authority to take necessary steps to introduce computerized


banking operation in our branch as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Wednesday, May 13, 2009

Of late, it is being observed that some of our branches have been sanctioning long-term
loans for house building a bit recklessly and without taking cautionary measures as to the
builders equity and the income generating capacity of the building being financed.

All concerned are hereby advised to strictly abide by the terms and conditions as stipulated
in the Circular Number 19 dated 12 Jan 1987 while evaluating a proposal of house-building
loan.

Special attention must be given to the valuation of both landed and building properties
keeping in mind that in view of impending recession the present value of real estate in
Bangladesh may suddenly plummet as had happened in North America that has sparked the
ongoing financial meltdown all over the world.

Any deviation from instructions as enunciated in the Loan Manual and in circulars issued
from time to time as to house-building loan will be seriously taken and meted out with stern
administrative actions.

Each and every official is instructed to read this circular and put his or her signature in the

Dear Sir,

It is our pleasure to receive your letter enquiring about money-gram system of paying

MoneyGram is an international company based in the United States having their offices in
more than 170 countries all over the world. This company has recently started providing
money transfer services in Bangladesh. They provide a service that ensures instant cash
from the remitters to the recipients in the shortest possible time.

Our bank has entered into an agreement with MoneyGram International. So, if you have any
friend or relation working or living abroad, you may inform him/her that s/he can send money
to anybody in Bangladesh through our bank via MoneyGram.

On the strength of a unique password, conveyed by the remitter to the intending recipient,
anybody can get the instant cash over the counter even if the customer has no account with
any bank.

You may enjoy this facility of MoneyGram in any shop or office, other than in banks,
wherever you will find the logo of MoneyGram, thanks to Internet facility being available in
every nook and corner.

Thanks for your query.

Dear Madam,

It is our pleasure to receive a letter from you to know how you can get money from abroad
through our bank instead of using the MoneyGram system of money transfer.

As you know, our bank has not yet entered into any agreement with MoneyGram. We are
also not confident about the efficacy of money transfer through MoneyGram that ensures
payment to anybody who can present a password. The system sounds to us a little
alarming, as we are not used to handing remittance money to anybody having no account
with our bank.

Our system of remittance through our overseas correspondents is very robust and reliable;
there is no possibility of frauds in our system. We ensure crediting the beneficiaries
accounts in the shortest possible time. Thanks to SWIFT communication system of our bank,
you can receive money from abroad in matter of few minutes. What you can do is advise
your friend or relation living abroad to find out the nearest bank and instruct them to send
his/her money through our correspondents.

We are enclosing herewith a brochure where you will find a list of our correspondent banks
abroad with their addresses, contact numbers, emails and SWIFT addresses. You may send

Dear Kamal,

Time flies away. I cant imagine that I have already spent three years working in the same
branch of Agrani Bank at Sadarghat. This explains my pleasure in my banking profession;
otherwise passing time would have been a painfully slow memory.

I find myself fortunate to work in Agrani Bank, Sadarghat Branch for a number of reasons.
Firstly, the branch is located so near my home at Patla Khan Lane that I dont need a
rickshaw to commute between my office and home. I can take my lunch in the comfort of my
house during the lunch break of half an hour. Secondly, my colleagues, especially my
Manager, are excellent people. Had I not been in this bank I would have missed a great
opportunity to meet rare people with rare hearts among my office colleagues and the
customers of my bank.

You know, Kamal, one day I didnt turn up to my office as I was suffering from fever. To my
sheer surprise, I found the whole crowd of my colleagues and a few customers in the living
room of my home. They were concerned about my sickness. They brought fruits and flowers.
They wished me an early recovery.

Of course, banking as a profession is a little risky. One has to be alert and cautious when
money goes out of the branch. I have been trained in our foundation course that a good
banker must have a lions heart, an eagles eyes, a deers ears, a monkeys canny
intelligence and an angels noble soul.

I have decided to accept banking as my career for my whole life. Lets see whether I as a
banker can contribute my mites and efforts for the welfare of people.

Please keep in touch with me and feel free to ask me for anything I can offer to you.

You can avail of the loan if you have the following papers ready to submit to us:

01. All the certificates of your previous educations testifying that you are an extraordinarily
meritorious student.
02. Evidence that your parents or guardians have valuable properties though they dont
have ready cash to spend.
03. Evidence that you have been qualified to get admission in any foreign university or
college of international reputation and that the education you would earn in that institution
would be of immense benefit to our country.
04. As the loan is offered at very low interest rate of only 4 percent, we may regret a loan
application if the applicant is not so meritorious or if his/her parents are affluent enough to
spend cash for their childrens education abroad.

We are always at your service and it would be our pride if students like you can earn
knowledge on the strength of a loan given by our Bank, the only state-owned Bank that
always rushes to the needy and the poor.

According to our normal banking practice it is high time we instituted a case against

Feasibility on Rahim Glass seeking working capital of Taka one crore

Rahim Glass is the oldest factory in Chittagong manufacturing different kinds of glasses for
the last 34 years. They have been maintaining a current account with us for the last three
years though their main bank is Sonali Bank wherefrom they had availed of a project loan of
Taka 25 crore about five years back.

Their project loan with Sonali Bank is going to be adjusted within this year. For our good
relationship with Rahim Glass they have sought Taka One crore as working capital for a new
factory they have recently set up to manufacture bottles for pharmaceutical companies.

The yearly turnover of the group of their industries is more than Taka 200 crore and they
have never defaulted with any bank. Besides machinery, which would be hypothecated by
us, they would offer additional collateral security worth Taka 5 crore to cover the loan for
their proposed working capital.

Considering their business background and reputation, the undersigned highly recommends
for sanctioning Taka one crore for Rahim Glass as short-term renewable working capita loan
in the form of Cash Credit.

For his kind approval, please.

Solution to the problem of excess liquidity


Almost all the branches of Islami Bank in Chittagong as well as in other parts of Bangladesh,
as you know, have been facing excess liquidity as devout Muslims are crowding our bank
branches to deposit their savings knowing full well that they would not earn any interest on
their deposits.

This trend of flooding our bank with deposits is observed especially during three months
before Hajj as the devout Muslims, who make up their minds to perform Hajj, withdraw their
savings from other commercial banks and deposit the same with us just before they set out
their journey for Hajj.

Considering this trend we suggest our esteemed management to invest the excess fund with
leasing companies for a short period of three months. We have come to learn that the
leasing companies offer the best rate. During Hajj period the leasing companies finance the
leather processing factories also for a short period on the eve of Eid-ul-Azha.

CAR LOAN FOR SENIOR OFFICIALS

Social Investment Bank Ltd (SIBL) has at present 87 sedans, 25 jeeps and 12 pickups which
are being officially used all over Bangladesh. Of these vehicles, 50 sedans are allotted to
executives, from Assistant Vice Presidents to Managing Director, for their alltime use. Each
executive has to pay Taka 300 every month against this facility of using the banks motor
vehicles both for their office and home uses.

The bank has to defray an annual expense of Taka 6 lac for one sedan allotted to each of the
executives on account of fuel, drivers salaries, maintenance, depreciation cost and
insurance premium.

It has been observed that families of the executives cant spare their allotted sedans for any
official use of the bank, as they have to use the cars for their domestic purposes day and
night.

Considering exorbitant maintenance cost of sedans and also with a view to providing an
incentive to the bank officials all other private banks and some of the state-owned banks
have already introduced car loans to their executives at bank rate and in some cases at no
interest in addition to a monthly allowance for maintenance of cars.

If the board of directors decides to give car loans of Taka 15 lac each to all the executives at
an interest rate of 2% along with monthly car allowance of Taka 25 thousand the bank will
save 40% expenditure on account of maintenance of sedans now being allotted to the
executives.

If approved, the proposition may be placed at the next meeting of the Board of Directors for
their consideration.

QUARTERLY EVALUATION MEETING HELD IN HEAD OFFICE ON MAY 22, 2009 TO DISCUSS ON
THE TOTAL POSITION OF THE BANK IN THE LAST FINANCIAL YEAR AND STRATEGIES ADOPTED
TO ACHIEVE BUSINESS GOALS IN THE CURRENT FINANCIAL YEAR.

An evaluation meeting presided over by the banks Managing Director Mr. M A Yusuf was held
in the Board Room of our Head Office on May 20, 2009 with Mr. Abdul Jalil, Chairman, Board
of Directors, attending the meeting as the chief guest. All the executives of the Head Office
and all the regional managers of the bank participated in the meeting that lasted for three
hours from 1000 HRS in the morning till 1300 HRS in the afternoon. The meeting was
followed by a lunch in Hotel Purbani.

In his welcome address Mr. Zainal Abedin, General Manager, Bangladesh Karma Sangsthan
Bank (BKSB), presented the overall position of the bank highlighting the following features of
the last financial year:

1. All the 45 branches located in different parts of Bangladesh made profits in the
financial year ending June 30, 2008.
2. Against annual profit target of Taka 15 crore the bank could make a total net profit of
only Taka 3 crore.
3. The bank had a total deposit of Taka 1,000 crore out of which Taka 800 crore was time
deposit and the rest demand deposit.
4. The bank had a total advance of Taka 2,900 crore of which only Taka 300 crore was
performing assets and the rest non-performing.
5. Out of total number of 350 employees of the bank 130 employees have left their jobs
and 26 employees had retired resulting in an acute shortage of manpower.
6. The bank is struggling to invest money as it has been facing tough competition from
NGOs, especially from Grameen Bank which is aggressively alluring rural people to
bank with them in spite of the fact that their rates of interests on loans are three times
more than what BKSB offers.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors in his address as the chief guest expressed his deep
concerns at the pitiable condition of the bank and urged the bank management to take
immediate measures to identify the flaws and take remedial measures to correct anomalies,
if any, that are responsible.

The Managing Director in his presidential address gave assurance that the bank will
surmount all the problems and will be able to achieve its annual target of making a total
profit of Taka 25 crore in the current financial year ending 30 June 2009 as BKSB has already
taken the following steps:
1. The bank has already ensured a healthy deposit-loan ratio at 60-40 and the provisional
profit at the end of April 30, 2009 stood at Taka 20 crore.
2. Performing assets of BKSB now stands at 90 percent.
3. 20 branches have been computerized to solve the shortage of manpower.

The meeting was over by a vote of thanks delivered by the undersigned.

MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 2009 AT PRIME BANK, ISLAMPUR
BRANCH, DHAKA, TO DISCUSS ABOUT SECURITY OF THE BRANCH.
An emergency meeting was held at 5 PM on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at the chamber of the
Branch Manager to discuss about the existing security arrangements and the measures
that can be taken to streamline the security aspects of the Branch in view of recent
robberies being committed in different shops and offices in and around Dhaka city.
Presided over by the Branch Manager the meeting was attended by all the employees of the
Branch. Mr. Kamrul Islam, Sub-inspector of Islampur Police Station, attended the meeting as
a special guest.

The meeting reviewed the law and order situation in Islampur area and security
arrangements of the Branch. There are only two security guards employed by a private
security firm. The guards are not smart and intelligent as was reported by the second officer
of the Branch; it was also reported that on holidays only one security guard remains inside
the branch on mutual arrangements between the guards so that the other guard can visit his
family on holidays. More alarming was the fact that the guards who are supposed to remain
alert round the clock sleep during night.
The following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the meeting:
01. The guards have to be replaced by four smart and honest security guards who will guard
the Branch on alternative roaster so that at least two guards are always found guarding the
Branch premises round the clock.
02. The guard on duty must toll a strong copper bell every hour according to clock so that
the officers of the branch who reside near the Branch can hear the bell tolling.
03. A CCTV camera attached with a standby computer that can run on battery for at least
one hour, in case of power failure, have to be installed to record movement of people inside
the Branch round the clock. All files in the hard disk of the computer will have to be kept
saved at least for one month before erasing the memory disks.

04. Movement register has to be introduced to track movements of both clients and
personnel.

The meeting that lasted for about one and a half hour was over with a vote of thanks
delivered by the undersigned.

RCD Circular No. 364-08/09 dated Thursday, May 21, 2009

SUB: MEASURES FOR RECOVERING LONG-DUE AGRICULTURAL LOANS

Please refer to relevant references, vide our circular numbers: 364-01, 364-02, 364-03, 364-
04, 364-05, 364-06 and 364-07 wherein it is clearly stipulated how and when disbursed
agricultural loans, especially crop loans, have to recovered and rescheduled. Head Office
management has repeatedly instructed our field offices to watch whether the small loans are
being serviced properly or not.

But, statistics emanating from field offices transpire that agricultural loans are getting time-
barred at an alarming rate and the managers of rural branches are not at all careful about
timely servicing of the loans and proper notices are not being served to defaulting
agricultural borrowers.

Our field offices, especially managers of our rural branches, are hereby advised to enlist the
updated lists of defaulters and send final notices to the concerned borrowers for repaying
their over-due loans by 07 June 2009. Field offices are advised to institute certificate cases
against the defaulters after complying necessary formalities.

If any branch is found having more than 10 percent of non-performing agricultural loans
stern administrative actions will be taken against the concerned managers and field officials.

All employees are required to read this circular and put their signatures on the blank spaces
of this notification.

REPORT ON THE MISUSE OF STAFF HOUSE-BUILDING LOAN IN TWO CASES

We are extremely sorry to report that two of our employees have been involved in diverting

to probe into the matter and submit a report.

According to the report of the probing committee one Mr. Ramesh Chandra Adhikari, our
cashier, invested the loan fund amounting Taka Two lac fifty thousand with his brother who is
a goldsmith and one Mr. Jalal Ahmed, our Senior Officer, invested the loan fund mounting
Taka Four lac and seventy-five thousand in share business of Dhaka Stock Market. Both the
officials are reported to be negligent to their duties, as they always remain busy talking to
people over telephone about their business activities.

In such circumstances it is imperative to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the


aforementioned officials of our Branch.

Submitted for information and granting approval for our initiating disciplinary proceedings
against the alleged personnel who misused their staff house building loans.
