    As I already said:
    Clearly you wouldn't want to send a valid debit card through the postal system (unless it was cut up)
    Well presumably if you close the account they want to know you have destroyed the debit card?
    Why is that bizarre?
    They can just cancel the card, in the same way they would if it was reported lost or stolen.

    and for most UK accounts you need to be a UK resident? That's one of the first questions to establish your eligibility.
    You need to be resident to open an account. You may continue to be eligible to use an existing account if you leave the country, depending on the exact policy of the bank.

    and why are you adding spanish phrases in a letter to a UK bank?

    Surely that's also bizarre??!!
    Not to the letter, but to the envelope, in order for the Spanish postal service to deliver the letter to the UK (the Spanish phrase means United Kingdom).
