    With the current letter I'd put it back in the post with "not known here - return to sender" in the hope that it makes its way back to the bank. After that, if anything else similar arrived arrived I'd hand deliver it to Flat 14. I probably would not engage with the addressee unless they happened across me delivering their mail.
    I would not hand the letter to Flat 14. You could be assisting in fraud if you do that. The occupant of Flat 14 could have set up an account in the name of a fictitious person using your address.
    OP seems to live in a place where there is a 14 Fake Street and Flat 14 (Unit 1 Fake Street) that share the same postcode, it's highly unlikely to be fraud, just the letter was not properly addressed by the bank

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
