John Stumpf, CEO of Wells Fargo Leaves Message About Merger Online

Customer Message from John Stumpf, President and CEO

To Our Customers,

The dramatic changes taking place in the financial services industry and economy these days are historic in scope and proportion. And as you may know, Wells Fargo & Company and Wachovia Corporation have agreed to merge and create the nation’s premier coast-to-coast community banking presence.

You may be asking yourself, “What does this mean for me as a Wells Fargo customer?”

The answer simply is - it’s business as usual. That’s because perhaps never before in our company’s 156-year history has Wells Fargo enjoyed a greater reputation for strength, security, financial discipline, and doing what’s right for the customer than it does today.

You trust us with your business. You continue to give us even more of it. We’re attracting more customers and earning more business from our current customers like you because many of our customers rave about us to their families, friends and business associates. We’re known and admired for our conservative financial services approach and time-tested business model, and it succeeds because you trust us to do what’s right for you, the customer.
We still focus, as always, on what got us here - building lifelong relationships with our customers and communities. Our team works hard to know you, understand your complete financial picture, listen to you, provide you value and reward you for doing even more business with us. We put you at the center of everything we do. And we work together to decide locally how we can help support the communities in which you - and we - live and work.

Thank you for entrusting us with your business!

John Stumpf
President and CEO

Walmart Changes Their Plans About Killing DRM Server

NOTE: This is a follow-up to our email titled "Important Information
About Your Digital Music Purchases" from 9/26/08.

Based on feedback from our customers, we have decided to maintain our
digital rights management (DRM) servers for the present time.  What this
means to you is that our existing service continues and there is no
action required on your part.  Our customer service team will continue
to assist with DRM issues for protected windows media audio (WMA) files
purchased from Walmart.com.

While our customer support team is available to assist you with any
issues, we continue to recommend that you back up your songs by burning
them to a recordable audio CD. By backing up your songs, you insure
access to them from any personal computer at any time in the future.

We appreciate your support and patience as we work to provide the best
service possible to you.  As we move forward with our 100% MP3 store,
we'll continue to update you with key decisions regarding our service
and your account via email.

Thank you for using Walmart MP3 Music Downloads.

The Walmart Digital Music Team

What I Have Been Up To

I have been busy for the last month, I got a promotion at the warehouse and I got a new camera!

I am now the Backup Lead of General Labor at the warehouse. It is kind of different being on this side of the job, I no longer have to unload trucks. I do have to drive a stand up forklift which I wasn’t thrilled about it at first, ( I sucked at driving the first time I did it last year) but I am getting better. I pretty much walk or drive around making sure everyone stays on tasks and then gave pallets and other stuff when needed. I can also get 40 hours by helping out by doing stuff once the GLs (General Labor) are gone.

My new camera is a Nikon D40, I am still trying to understand all the settings as I have only had a point and shoot camera up til now. I am getting better and if it ever stops raining I plan on taking more pics.
