Subject: Request for Thrift Plan Settlement – Peter Bones

Dear [Recipient's Name],

With reference to the request for thrift plan settlement for Mr. Peter Bones, originally shared on August 25, 2025, we would like to facilitate the completion of this process. Treasury has requested the employee’s local bank account details; however, Mr. Bones is no longer residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In light of this, HR kindly requests that the settlement be processed through the overseas bank account provided below. Should this method prove unfeasible for any reason, we seek your support in crediting the eligible amount to the company account, with subsequent transfer to the employee’s overseas account—or via any alternative method that aligns with company policy, guidelines, and procedures.

This request is made to ensure the timely and compliant disbursement of the resigned employee’s eligible amount, in accordance with company policy.

We appreciate your usual cooperation and support.

Thank you and best regards,

[Your Name]
