No one (not currently on payroll in Charlotte) wants to be CEO of Bank of America. That much is obvious. Not Ken Lewis, not anyone. Included in that group of people: Bank of New York Mellon Robert Kelly. And yet, despite having their calls forward to The Rejection Line, several times at this point, BAC seems to be having some difficulty getting the message. Concluding that brain trust down south would not fuck off and leave him alone unless a more direct approach was taken, the Kelly shot the team this message:
From: Robert P KellyTo: Operating Committee

Subject: Bank of America Speculation
——————————————————————————-
