When you write the letter, make sure that you keep it professional. Mention the account number and other necessary details accurately.

Sometimes, you might be asked to fill in a form as well.

Subject: Application to change the mobile number
I am Aanandhan M, and I hold a savings account with the account number (provide your complete bank account number) in your bank. I have changed my mobile number as I lost my mobile recently. It would be of great help if you could stop all the messages that would be sent to my old mobile number (provide your old phone number) as soon as possible so that no one gets access to my bank account. I would also like to request you to link my new mobile number (provide your new phone number) and activate the message service to this number.
I have attached a copy of my bank passbook and a copy of my Aadhaar card for your reference.
Thank you for your kind attention and understanding.
