To All Banking Institutions in the Second Federal
Reserve District, and Others Concerned:

We have been advised by Bayerische Vereinsbank A.G. (Union Bank of Bavaria), New York
Branch, that several official checks purportedly drawn on that office and collected through two
banks in the Far East were deemed false items. The false checks are yellow in color (authentic
O/T ^901
checks are blue), bear routing number - L303 (an erroneous number), are drawn on Bayerische
Vereins Bank (note that the latter portion of the name is divided into two words), and have a Park
Avenue address instead of the bank’s correct address of 335 Madison Avenue.
Anyone having information concerning the issuer of these checks, or questions concerning
their authenticity should contact Walter Eckmeier, Assistant Vice President & Manager — Opera­
tions Department, Bayerische Vereinsbank A.G., 335 Madison Avenue, New York, New York
10017 (Tel. No. 212-210-0316).
