Template letter for reclaiming bank fees - can anybody help please?

Hello

I would like to reclaim my bank fees as I am sure I was mis-sold after reading Martin's guide.

The only problem is I can't open the template letter due to not having Word.

Can anyone copy and paste it for me please?

Thanks in advance.

    This is the response I have recieved from the bank, could anyone please advise? I am sure I am not eligable for travel insurance due to pre-existing medical insurance.
