See if the following looks fine to you:
Dear Sir,
This has reference to my application submitted to VFS, xxxx, dated xxx (reference number -xxxxx) for grant of VISA under Point Based System, Tier-1 (General) Category. Unfortunately, my application was rejected on xxxx vide letter dated xxxx, no xxx with a right to apply for administrative review.
The reason cited for rejection is as under:
"ING vysya xxx180 bank statement enclosed. Not considered this evidence, as it is an internet bank statement with no supporting letter from the bank as per the requirements of published guidance."
I was otherwise granted points as claimed for other criteria.
In light of the above, I would like to apply for an administrative review of decision taken in respect of my application and like to highlight that the evidence supplied by me met the specifications provided in the PBS Tier-1 Guidance notes as applicable on the date of the application.
With regards to the Bank Statements provided in support of the maintenance funds criteria, my Bank ING.... xxx branch (contact person: Mr. xxxx, Manager, contact number xxxx) furnished a printout of transactions covering 3 months starting xxx ending xxx. These printed statements were provided by the bank and every page of the printouts carried stamp and signature of the Bank official. Please note that the format of the statements and the information contained therein conform with every requirement mentioned in the PBS guidance notes (provided below for easy reference)
The personal bank or building society statements should clearly show:
 your name;
 the account number;
 the date of the statement;
 the financial institution's name and logo;
 transactions covering the three-month period;
 that there is enough funds present in the account; and
 that there has been enough money present in the account for the past three months.
In addition, as the Bank provided electronic bank statements, I got the same stamped (& signed) by the Bank as per the highlighted guidance note below (para xxx, page xxx of PBS Tier-1 General.....)
If you wish to send electronic bank statements from an online account these must contain all of the details listed above. In addition, you will need to send a supporting letter from your bank, on headed paper, confirming that the statements are genuine. Alternatively, electronic bank statements with the official stamp of the bank that issued the statements will be accepted. The stamp must appear on every page of the statement.
It is clear from the above that if an applicant provides electronic bank statements which are stamped by the bank, he is not required to provide a supporting letter from the bank. Apparently, the case worker did not consider the evidence in line with the aforementioned guidance note and rejected my application in error.
In light of the above, May I request that I be awarded full 10 points for maintenance fund requirement and the VISA, as requested, be issued to me at the earliest. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any clarification on the above. I have also provided contact details of the Bank Official who issued the Bank Statements. He/she may kindly be contacted, if need be.
Kind regards,
xxx
