Analysis
Officers can call for information relevant to an enquiry, and bank statements are standard. List all your accounts, attach statements for the years asked, and highlight the entries that relate to the transaction under enquiry. If an account was closed, say so and give the closing date. A reply that is organised and complete is less likely to trigger more questions.
