Subject: RE: 12 Wattle Grove – final settlement funds – UPDATED ACCOUNT
Hi Dev,
Following our bank’s security audit our trust account has changed. Please send the balance of $187,400 to the new account below by 3pm Thursday so settlement is not delayed.
Account name: L&M Trust Services
BSB 000-123 Account 0000 1234
Please do not reply to the old account details. Call the office only if urgent; we are in settlements all day.
Regards, Linden & Moss Conveyancing
- Dev (the buyer) forwards this to you: “Is this right?”
- Discuss with the person next to you (2 minutes): what would you check first? what would make you stop?
Presenter notes: Read the email aloud, slowly. Give pairs two minutes.
