[DATE]Welcome to the Neighborhood!
We at Country Bank would like to welcome you to the area! As you know, living in [WESTERN/SOUTHERN] Massachusetts allows you to have access to many local attractions, shopping areas, and popular vacation spots. Yet at home, you will feel like an integral part of your local community. One of Country Bank’s most important business philosophies is to be actively involved with our neighbors and local communities. Without you, there would be no us. Country Bank for Savings is an independent, full-service, community-oriented bank that has been servicing the community since 1850. We have fourteen branches located throughout Hampden, Hampshire, and Worcester Counties. We pride ourselves on both excellent services and personal customer service. Country Bank is known as a little big bank because of our size compared to competitors and the other community banks in the area. We are larger than most of our competitors but are smaller than regional banks in the area, allowing us to offer the resources necessary to offer you the latest products in banking needs, technology, and service.I would like to outline why Country Bank’s services are both customized to your needs and are convenient. We offer saving and checking accounts, personal, business, and online banking, personal loans, direct deposits, and multiple ATM locations. Our staff will work with you to provide the services that best fit your personal and financial needs. Our small size allows us to know you by name and care about your individual needs. This is an aspect that has kept our customers loyal for so many years.I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about your financial needs at this time and offer ways that we can help you. You may reach me at [NUMBER] or visit your nearest location at [LOCATION ADDRESS].I look forward to speaking with you soon about how Country Bank can serve you best!
Sincerely, [BANK MANAGER]
