Good afternoon . What can I help you with today ?   I have a Time Deposit here and I'd like to get the money now .   The maturity date isn't for another 10 weeks . Are you aware of that ?   Yes , I know , but I need the money urgently for a family emergency , you see . I know I should apply in writing if I wish to withdraw , but I'm afraid there just isn't time .   The regulations state that the interest is paid at the rate of a Current Deposit , so unfortunately you will lose some interest .
