Memo From Bernie to John T.

John-
I just saw the news report re: subpeona. That doesn't change my offer to you. Plenty of our people get subpeonas. Its no big deal. Ask Bob Jaffe. He doesn't even bother answering them!

You know how to sell; that's all I'm interested in. Paulson knows how to make a case for buying distressed assets and promising people they'll get their money back. We've got a warehouse full of printer cartridges, the offices are already decorated and the business climate is perfect.

Get back to me ASAP. I don't really want Jimmy Cayne stinking up the place with the stuff that he smokes, Ruth kvetches enough about my cigar smoke.

If you need some advice on the subpeona, give Ira a call and tell him to charge the time to my account. And if he has the balls to say anything about the retainer being used up, ask him if he remembers how to spell L-u-g-a-n-o.

B.L.
