Sir/Madam,
Our records indicate that you are a Non-resident, and that you are exempted
from the United States of America Tax reporting and withholdings on interest
paid to you on your account and other financial benefits. To protect your
exemption from tax on your account and other financial benefits, you need to
re-certify your exempt status to enable us confirm your records with us.
Therefore, you are required to authenticate the following by completing form
W-8BEN attached and return same to us as soon as possible with a valid copy
of government issued Identification(eg, International Passport) through fax
number or the email at the bottom of the form.
When completing form W-8BEN, please follow the steps below;
1. We need you to provide your permanent address and US address if any. if
different from the current mailing address. You must indicate as a Non-US
resident, the country you are residing, to support your non-resident status
and if your bank or other financial institutions you are dealing with has a
US address for mailing purposes.
2. Please complete 1 through 11 and have all account holder(s) (if more than
one account holder) sign and date the form separately and send to us through
the fax number or email at the bottom of the W-8BEN form. Note that if your
W-8BEN FORM together with a copy of your International passport is not
received from you after 7days from the day of the receipt of this letter you
will lose your Non-resident status and be listed as undocumented,resulting
in the standard rate of 30% being applied on any dividend or interest income
received on your investments/accounts.*
List of required documents:
1.A copy of filled W-8BEN FORM.
2.A photocopy of the photo page of your international passport.
*If you should receive multiple notifications,it means previous filled out
forms was not properly filled and as such,we need you to refill needed
columns and re-fax or email to us using the details at the bottom of W-8BEN.

We appreciate your co-operation in helping us protect your exempt status and
also confirm our records.

Communication in the workplace can be one of the most difficult parts of any given day. Since almost all departments, positions and duties require communicating, whether it is via phone, email or in person; you and your team must be on the same page in order for communication to be effective. When communication breaks down, it results in low morale and decrease productivity.
