RT
published a letter it claimed to have been sent by NatWest, which said:
‘We have recently undertaken a review of your banking arrangements with
us.’

letter - said to have been sent to the channel’s offices at the
Millbank Tower in Westminster - added that the bank had ‘reached the
conclusion that we will no longer provide these facilities’.
The
bank said in last Wednesday's note that the Royal Bank of Scotland
