Notable Quotes 3
The client claims they were never informed of the closing and is absolutely livid.
Is this a situation where we might be able to get a one week exception so we can reactivate the account and get the deal done tomorrow (especially if all we are missing is a certificate of good standing)?
This is extremely high priority for the banker, Paul Morris and the relationship is worth —200MM+.
