Dear Ms Segal:

Thanks for your help by phone today, when I called to inquire regarding the Complaint Number, designated by Bank of Israel, Banking Regulation, for my complaint against Bank HaPoalim, BM, filed with Bank of Israel over a month ago.

Since you indicated that office staff was off for the holiday, I will call back next week, as you suggested.

Beyond my individual case, the issue is of significance for the following reasons:
1)       I firmly believe that investigation of the complaint will uncover criminality by senior officer of Bank HaPoalim, BM, the largest consumer bank in the State of Israel, and
2)       Failure, or refusal to issue a complaint number for a complaint that was duly filed and received by Bank of Israel, raises concerns regarding integrity of banking regulation in the State of Israel.

Both issues should be of concern at a time, when criminality of financial institutions and failing banking regulation are the cause of a worldwide financial crisis.

Truly,
