A stolen Bank of America Corp. laptop has resulted in lost personal
information of current, former and retired employees, according to a letter
sent this week to those affected.

The letter said a "limited" number of people were affected, but the
Charlotte bank on Thursday would not provide a number. Employees at various
levels of the company were affected, spokesman Scott Silvestri said.

The lost data included names, addresses, dates of birth and Social Security
numbers, but there is no sign the information has been misused, according
to an April 10 letter obtained by the Observer. The bank is offering a free
credit monitoring service for two years to those affected.

The bank employs more than 203,000 worldwide, including about 15,000 in the
Charlotte area. A former employee who received the letter Thursday said he
appreciated the warning.
