Notes.. Redwood Bank is an investment bank in which we deposited £20.000 to earn a better rate of
interest. We originally sent £5.00 to 'test' the transfer followed by the £20,000 investment. Both sums
were returned due to length of time between opening the account and depositing funds. We subsequently
redeposited £20.0￿ to Redwood Bank, which 15 why there appears to be £40,005.00 investment. The
interest accrued to date1151091251 15 £830.27 and is due to be paid in lknber 2025.
