You are approaching bank and submit application letter for opening the account. The official of the bank says that your Bank Passbook, ATM card, ATM card PIN, Internet Banking User Name, Password will be delivered to you after 02 days. But you are in a position to collect the kit on that day because of your other appointment on that day. So you want to collect it by one of your family members."
