XXXX XXXX, EVP sent the following message at XXXX PM View Warrens profileXXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX PM I assume your question on why we would close your account is rhetorical, right? As claim money comes in for you, we will mail those funds to you. 
XXXX XXXX sent the following messages at XXXX PM View XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX PM A rhetorical device is a linguistic tool that employs a particular type of sentence structure, sound, or pattern of meaning in order to evoke a particular reaction from an audience. Each rhetorical device is a distinct tool that can be used to construct an argument or make an existing argument more compelling. i want my refunds sent to me due to me needing my XXXX medecine......... i am becoming vry very sick and had to go to the XXXX due to this whole situation with the bank. So, with that being stated i reached out to u cause i thought u should know that what was going on within ur own company. 
my refunds from XXXX will be rejected due to u closing my account though???? 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( He/Him ) XXXX PM so the best case is to not close my account until the rest of my pending payments go through and my refunds to come through. that will leave me longr without my XXXX meds and i could die. 
View XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( He/Him ) XXXX PM so ... ... what do u want to do about this situation? 
XXXX XXXX, EVP sent the following messages at XXXX PM View Warrens profileXXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX PM A rhetorical question is a question asked to make a point, rather than get an answer. 

We will send monies received from XXXX to you. The bank only processes transactions. We have no idea when XXXX or anyone else will send you money. When they do, we will send it to you. 
Your concern is with XXXX not us.
