> Hello,

> As you may know from our previous communications, your most
> recent AdSense payments have been delayed. Today we're glad to
> inform you that we are resuming these payments and they will soon
> return to our normal schedule. From now on, your payments will be
> sent to you through an international US Dollar wire transfer. To
> enable our system to process the wire payments, we need you to
> provide us with some banking information. Please follow the steps
> below:

> 1) Make sure you have ALL of the following information ready:

> - Name on the bank account - needs to be the same as in your
> AdSense account
> - AdSense publisher id: To find your unique AdSense publisher ID
> number, log into your AdSense account athttp://www.google.com/adsense. On the 'My Account' tab, scroll
> down to the 'Property info' section, where you will see your
> publisher ID formatted like this: ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
> - CPF (for individuals); CNPJ (for corporations)
> - Bank name
> - Bank address and telephone number
> - Bank number
> - Branch number
> - Account number
> - Swift code (please call the Exchange Rate desk of your bank to
> ask for this code. This should be an eleven digit code).

> We assure you that Google will only use this information to
> process your AdSense payments.

> 2) Review your AdSense account for a fax number that will be
> shown on the'Reports Overview'page. This number will begin to
> appear between January 31st and February 3rd.

> 3) Send the information in Step 1 above to that fax number to the
> attention of 'Google AdSense Payments'. Please keep this fax
> number for your records. Please be patient if it takes some time
> to complete the call.

> 4) When we receive the fax with your banking information, we will
> send you an email to confirm this. Please review the information to
> be sure that it is complete and correct, or it may prevent the
> wire transfer from being processed correctly or on time. Once
> you've successfully submitted you bank account information, you
> will not need to resend it for future payments.

> 5) Please provide us this information by the 4th of February so
> that we can issue you a payment on or around the 6th of February.
> If you miss the February 4th deadline, please submit your complete
> bank
> information to us on or before February 11th, so that we can
> issue you a payment on or around February 13th.

> After these 2 weekly payments, we will resume our monthly payment
> process (now via wire transfer instead of checks). The next
> monthly payment will occur in the last week of February for
> unpaid earnings through the end of January.

> 6) Once we process your wire transfer, we will update your
> AdSense account to inform you of this. The wire transfers could
> take a few days to reach your bank, so check with your bank to
> see if the money has arrived. During this time you may see a
> message in your account, 'Payment issue - please contact AdSense
> Support.' Please know that this is normal while we process the
> payment and there is no need to contact us.

> 7) Once the money has reached your bank, please know that your
> bank may ask you to sign a Foreign Exchange (FX) contract to agree
> to the exchange rate used to convert your
> dollar payment into Reais. You may need to visit your bank's
> Exchange Rate desk to sign this contract. Since policies vary between
> banks, some banks might also ask you for some specific
> documentation in regards to these wire payments. Please
> contact your bank account manager or the Exchange Rate desk to
> clarify the process for your bank. Your bank may also charge a
> fee for this transfer.

> 8) We will continue to use this process and wire unpaid earnings,
> each month, to the bank account you specify. We do not recommend
> changing your bank account information frequently, but if you do
> need to change your bank account information, please submit your
> new bank information as described in step 3.

> For questions, please review the FAQ below. If you still have
> concerns, you are welcome to email us [email address]

> We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your
> patience and understanding,

> Hello,

> As you may know from our previous communications, your most
> recent AdSense payments have been delayed. Today we're glad to
> inform you that we are resuming these payments and they will soon
> return to our normal schedule. From now on, your payments will be
> sent to you through an international US Dollar wire transfer. To
> enable our system to process the wire payments, we need you to
> provide us with some banking information. Please follow the steps
> below:

> 1) Make sure you have ALL of the following information ready:

> - Name on the bank account - needs to be the same as in your
> AdSense account
> - AdSense publisher id: To find your unique AdSense publisher ID
> number, log into your AdSense account athttp://www.google.com/adsense. On the 'My Account' tab, scroll
> down to the 'Property info' section, where you will see your
> publisher ID formatted like this: ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
> - CPF (for individuals); CNPJ (for corporations)
> - Bank name
> - Bank address and telephone number
> - Bank number
> - Branch number
> - Account number
> - Swift code (please call the Exchange Rate desk of your bank to
> ask for this code. This should be an eleven digit code).

> We assure you that Google will only use this information to
> process your AdSense payments.

> 2) Review your AdSense account for a fax number that will be
> shown on the'Reports Overview'page. This number will begin to
> appear between January 31st and February 3rd.

> 3) Send the information in Step 1 above to that fax number to the
> attention of 'Google AdSense Payments'. Please keep this fax
> number for your records. Please be patient if it takes some time
> to complete the call.

> 4) When we receive the fax with your banking information, we will
> send you an email to confirm this. Please review the information to
> be sure that it is complete and correct, or it may prevent the
> wire transfer from being processed correctly or on time. Once
> you've successfully submitted you bank account information, you
> will not need to resend it for future payments.

> 5) Please provide us this information by the 4th of February so
> that we can issue you a payment on or around the 6th of February.
> If you miss the February 4th deadline, please submit your complete
> bank
> information to us on or before February 11th, so that we can
> issue you a payment on or around February 13th.

> After these 2 weekly payments, we will resume our monthly payment
> process (now via wire transfer instead of checks). The next
> monthly payment will occur in the last week of February for
> unpaid earnings through the end of January.

> 6) Once we process your wire transfer, we will update your
> AdSense account to inform you of this. The wire transfers could
> take a few days to reach your bank, so check with your bank to
> see if the money has arrived. During this time you may see a
> message in your account, 'Payment issue - please contact AdSense
> Support.' Please know that this is normal while we process the
> payment and there is no need to contact us.

> 7) Once the money has reached your bank, please know that your
> bank may ask you to sign a Foreign Exchange (FX) contract to agree
> to the exchange rate used to convert your
> dollar payment into Reais. You may need to visit your bank's
> Exchange Rate desk to sign this contract. Since policies vary between
> banks, some banks might also ask you for some specific
> documentation in regards to these wire payments. Please
> contact your bank account manager or the Exchange Rate desk to
> clarify the process for your bank. Your bank may also charge a
> fee for this transfer.

> 8) We will continue to use this process and wire unpaid earnings,
> each month, to the bank account you specify. We do not recommend
> changing your bank account information frequently, but if you do
> need to change your bank account information, please submit your
> new bank information as described in step 3.

> For questions, please review the FAQ below. If you still have
> concerns, you are welcome to email us [email address]

> We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your
> patience and understanding,

> The Google AdSense Team
