il By fax: 02-666-9077 Response within 10 days is kindly requested. RE: Request for Complaint Number, Complaint Date, and confirmation of receipt of the Addendum, in re: Bank HaPoalim, LTD, Israel Dear Governor Fisher: On August 25, 2012 I filed with Bank of Israel a Consumer Complaint against Bank HaPoalim, LTD, Israel, related to conduct alleged as extortion. [1] Ms Miriam Segal of Bank of Israel assisted me in the filing of the Consumer Complaint, which was uploaded through the Bank of Israel web site, faxed, and transmitted by email. Ms Segal also confirmed the receipt of the complaint. She also informed me that pursuant to the Bank of Israel Consumer Complaint procedures, Bank HaPoalim would be required to answer on the Complaint within 21 days. On September 4, 2012 I filed with Bank of Israel an Addendum to the August 25, 2012 Consumer Complaint against Bank HaPoalim, LTD, related to conduct that is inconsistent with any notion of honest banking. [2] In recent days I have repeatedly filed with Ms Miriam Segal and Bank of Israel request for notification by email of: a) Complaint number and date, designated by Bank of Israel on my August 25, 2012 Consumer Complaint. b) Confirmation of receipt of the September 4, 2012 Addendum. In contrast with Ms Segals prompt responses in the past, I am unable to obtain from her response on my requests a) and b), listed above. Therefore, I kindly request that you ascertain that Bank of Israel provide the Complaint number and date, designated on my August 25, 2012 Consumer Complaint, as well as Confirmation of receipt of the September 4, 2012 Addendum. Please have Bank of Israel provide a copy of the response on instant request by email transmission to the address, noted below, since I am abroad and have no access to my paper mail in Jerusalem. Truly,

Joseph Zernik, PhD PO Box 31440, Jerusalem 91313 Email: 123456xyz@gmail.com
