""Short Description: Your OANDA fxTrade Account: Closed
Dear J...-F....... B......r,
Thank you for informing us of your change of address. Please accept my apologies for not noticing immediately that you were updating to an Alberta address. OANDA has made a business decision to close its operations in Alberta as the small number of customers who qualify to trade forex in Alberta does not allow us to sustain business in that province. Unfortunately we will be closing your account and returning your funds to you.
We appreciate your understanding.
