Let's Go To The Malibu Beach House!

The news said that a Wells Fargo executive moved into a home on the beach

near Los Angles and was using it as a week-end party house.

The only bad thing was that it was being held by Wells Fargo and was to

remain empty until sold.

The former occupants were stripped of their fortune by our old beloved friend, Bernie Madoff.

So they had to give up their dream home on the beach.

The financial melt-down hit lots of people and the economy hasn't been the best for many.

Please note that the house we're talking about isn't just any house...it's on Malibu beach,

some of the most expensive property anywhere. Many movie stars hang out there.

Valued at about twelve million or so, the house is 3,800 square feet and is right on the beach.

You can't get any closer.

In fact, if a tsunami happens, everyone should head out fast! Once it hits, it will be instant ruin!

Wells Fargo says it is against their policy for ANYONE to occupy property held by the bank--

even their high up executives. They have fired the executive.

Meanwhile, the neighbors said there was a party held there and a yacht was

even anchored just offshore to bring guests to the house.

Since I have been a Wells Fargo customer for many years, I thought maybe we were invited

to a few parties. Could we have overlooked it? Did it get buried in one of our subscription

magazines? What happened to it?

So I had my wife look. She looked and looked! No invitation!

What? I don't believe it! Nothing.

But had we received an invitation, it probably would have read like this:

Dear_____________________(write name in)

Thank you so much for being a Wells Fargo customer! We value your business. Since you

have been a loyal customer for ___________years, we would like to invite you (and a guest)

to our Malibu beach house. It will be this Saturday at 10AM. We'll furnish everything!

Brunch, dinner, food, drinks, everything! We hope you can make it. Please RSVP to your

local Wells Fargo branch.

Lovingly yours, Cheronda.

P.S. Love and kisses!

Now had we received such an invitation, chances exceed 50 percent that we would have

gone!

I'm sure we would have had a wonderful time and maybe even asked a few questions, such

as: "Nice furniture, Cheronda! It must have cost you a fortune!"

"No, it cost nothing! We had to repossess it. The old owner didn't pay up. Isn't it

beautiful?"

"Sure is! And thanks for the yacht ride, Cheranda! It was super! Is it yours?"

"No...we had to repossess that too! For some reason, people just can't make payments

on lots of things anymore. But those of us at the bank don't have to worry too much! We

got a bundle from the government, so we're real happy! We just keep repossessing, holding property and foreclosing. It's all so wonderful!"

"Yeah, sure is! The bank is real fortunate having such a nice property! Do you think it will sell soon?"

"Sell? Don't be silly! We're not going to sell! We'll keep it for our executives and employees

to use, as well as our customers like yourselves. It's our way of showing our appreciation!

We hope you like your new Wells Fargo!"

"We love it!"

So we would have had a wonderful time! We hoped that maybe we could go back again soon!

Have you received your invitation yet?

P.S.  Wells Fargo still has the house, but the former executive was fired.
