Interesting Approval on a Wachovia Short Sale

Boy, I thought I had seen it all and then this happened.

I had a short sale with Wachovia as the one and only lender.  I faxed over the package including the estimated proceeds.  I called several times to see if a negotiator had been assigned.  No updates were given. 

Then out of the blue, I received a two page approval. I did not receive a phone call or any other contact info other than an email on the approval.  The biggest shock was that there was no cover page on the fax.

Good thing I had provided my eFax number for the fax number.  What if the approval had gone into some lost fax land and I never received the approval? Its pretty crazy the way the banks operate. And then we wonder why they need to be bailed out.
