Wells Fargo Letter Of Authorization: Fill & Download for Free

The story you’ve read is one used by some religious extremists to argue that Jefferson didn’t believe in the separation of church and state (even though he coined the term). It misconveys the actual situation.Jefferson didn’t negotiate that treaty - William Henry Harrison did. Harrison was, at the time, the Indiana Territorial Governor. The treaty was done to essentially buy “all the lands in the Illinois country” from the Indians. Well, almost all of the land. 350 acres were to be reserved for the Kaskaskia tribe to inhabit.The treaty details the methods of payment, which were rather varied and complex. They included money and goods but also unique things such as a house for the chief and a fence around a hundred acre field. And then the two items that are mentioned in the question: $300 to help pay for the erection of the tribe’s church and $100 a year for seven years to help pay the salary of the tribe’s priest, who would be responsible for both operating the church and educating the tribal children.The tribe was already Catholic. That $1000 was not used to support missionary work of conversion, as some versions of the story claim.The church, priest’s salary, fence, house and other goods and monies were simply the methods to pay the tribe - methods that had meaning and value to the tribe. It wasn’t like the government could have just electronically wired a large sum of cash into the tribe’s bank account at the local Wells Fargo.In addition, native Americans were not considered United States citizens until 1924.So, there simply isn’t a reasonable argument to be made that the First Amendment establishment clause was violated by that treaty. The government bought some land from some non-citizens and those non-citizens chose the payment method. The government showed no favoritism to any religion and did not establish one with any authority in the lives of American citizens.The full treaty can be read, here: Treaty with the Kaskaskia, Page 67Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptists makes quite clear how Jefferson understood the First Amendment and it is the place where the words “separation of church and state” are actually written.

The speed of a wire recall will depend on the cooperation of the sending and receiving banks, as well as the responsiveness of the beneficiary. This could be as little as 1 business day, if all parties are in agreement.I recently initiated a wire transfer from one of my savings accounts to pay off a loan with Wells Fargo. The wire was sent after hours on a Tuesday. When the payment had not posted to my loan account the next business day, I called Wells Fargo for a status update. The customer service agent advised waiting three business days for the wire to post. I’d later learn that wires can be recalled with greater simplicity within the first 72 hours.When the wire still had not posted by Friday afternoon, I called Wells Fargo again, and was once more told they had no record of the funds. The agent advised calling the sending bank; I did, and was provided with the wire’s federal trace number to fax to WF.Another business day elapsed. I finally received a call from an Executive Account specialist at WF who informed me that the wire had been deposited into another customer’s checking account! Oops! Unlike most banks, WF does not verify beneficiary account names for wire transfers (USBank, for example, would have rejected the wire due to the beneficiary name mismatch). It took four hours for WF to convince my sending bank to consider initiating a wire recall.Another three days elapsed while my bank finished their due diligence to execute their end of the wire recall. Next, WF needed to accept the wire recall request, and last, obtain debit authorization of the funds from the beneficiary. Nevermind that this was a mistake and the account names did not match. Banks trust no one, so every action requires verbal and/or written authorization.Three more weeks passed by without resolution. I called WF daily and was told that they were unable to reach the mistaken recipient of my funds by phone. My Executive Account agent sent multiple letters to the account holder via FedEx. Nothing. I grew more nervous with each day.On the fourth week, WF called and informed me they had finally received authorization from the beneficiary to recall my funds.Total time elapsed for funds to leave and return to my account: 30 days

You should visit a branch and advise them of your intentions. If all your outstanding items have cleared then it is safe to remove the remaining balance at which point the bank can mark your account closed. Just bringing it to a zero balance will not normally close the account. It can be done with a signed letter of authorization from yourself and the bank can either mail you a cashiers check or credit any other open accounts. Many times people just let accounts sit and go negative for many days. Most banks will reverse bank fees and bring abandoned accounts to zero after so many days inactive….
