Closed H2B Isa & Not using Lisa, advice please

Hi
After guidance here previously I transferred my H2B isa into a LISA (December 2017) thinking I would be buying in 18months or so.
I received the letter the bank give you to present to a solicitor closing the account on the H2B isa. This is valid for 12 months.
I intended to keep the LISA for the year and then look to buy. However things have changed, an opportunity has arisen nd I am going to need to close it before April (to avoid 6% fee) and claim no bonus.
In this case am I able to use my H2B ISA closing letter and benefit from the original bonus scheme? Or does transferring it (despite then closing the account) invalidate my letter
Please advise

I believe you can close the LISA and give the HTB closing statement to your solicitor to claim a bonus.0
