Paul'$ Billion$

[Vassegh, Robert F]

Paul,

I checked on your account. I'm sorry to say it's been escheated to the State
of California.  On the bright side, your money just provided us with 10
megawatts of electricity.  (Cue Debbie Boone's "You Light Up My Life".)

Robert: somewhere around the house I have  an old BOA savings  account
bankbook (Pasadena branch) dated 1934 in the amount of  $5.34.  it
originates
from a school savings program the bank organized back then to educate
children
in the magic of compound interest.  How do I go about redeeming my fortune,
which now should amount to billions considering the 67 years of compound
interest. Please make it happen. I promise to donate all to charity.
