Kind regards, WorldRemit XXXX XX/XX/XXXX After sending bank statement and paycheck stub and a phone call they closed my account Good day I had a conversation with you regarding my case and you informed me that you would be closing my account for the fact I would not divulge some PI ( personal information ). You claimed it was because of the federal rules and regulations which was not true. It was later divulged that you organization compliance department was requesting this information and not the government oversight agencies. 
So this is the real meaning of my email, since your organization closed out my account ( I confirmed this morning ) I demanded an email that all my PI has been removed and an email stating that this has happen with accordance from the Consumer Affairs and XXXX agency. Here some reference matter for your edification : If your compliance department has a change of mind I am willing to listen and maybe we could do business again but for now if this is not completed in the next 30 days I will move to litigation. 
XX/XX/XXXX Good day This is my last request that you have disposed of all financial data and accounts within your system if I do not hear back regarding this matter, I will take it as non-compliance and will seek legal advice and exercise my rights. 

XX/XX/XXXX I am willing to continue a conversation : I want all my PI removed from their systems, they checking accounts, passport, drivers license and banking details.
