Thanks to anyone who reads this short post. As the title states, I have deposited a small money gift to my nephew to help with closing costs on his first home, my bank and I have both signed a gift letter stating the funds were already in there before I wrote the check, but now the processing agent wants to see my last bank statement to prove the funds, even though my bank signed the legal gift letter. I really don't want the processing agent or others in that food chain to know how much money I have in that account, so the question is.... Is there another way I can convince the agent regarding my bank account without sending them the statement? In an email exchange with them and my nephew they said without the statement they will not accept that money in his account as being his to use. Is there a way or am I stuck 'raising my skirts' to help my nephew?
