From: jeffrey E. <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2015 6:39 PM To: Melanie Spinella jeffrey Brad Wechsler is asking if you c=uld meet for a half hour with him and Rich Joslin to discuss Use Tax Refund. Below are available dates/times...below that is your schedule. OK for me to schedule in?: NO sorry not until i hear from leon<=r> leon. to be fair, I had sent the first note to you=one year ago . stating that my work would come to an end on oc= 15. that day had meaning as everything would be closed. you asked that i continue to help brad. as of nov though=he would officially start in jan. I said ok, but " you told me to continue as we would work something out" I told you my fee then was 40 . feb you came with ben while k=thy ruemmler was here. and said next week, debra got bad news. and I quickly prioritzed not adding stress to your=situation. I wont regurgitate the interim, though millio=s of dollars were saved since. millions.. it is now one year later =nd you propose 10 million , plus a contingent fee . I have said that i would work with you , and if contingent and a percen=age of something. I strongly believe that is not in your inter=st. I continue to put our friendship first and dont want you t= write a check for over 100million andthe i will have to listen to l=wie for the next few years. but if you prefer over my objection a percenta=e deal then it should be of all savings not just phaidon. ( a random concept) . The idea that i am somehow even margi=ally responsible for neither you nor heather , ever telling me=that there was an unresolved issue, though you said you had been pinged a =umber of times is emblematic . I can do a call with you and =arp. anytime you like today, but i can assure you 100 percent=that there is no light between our positions. ZERO. and he is =eady to do his best to try to explain it to you. please note The=information contained in this communication is confidential, may be att=rney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is inten=ed only for the use of the addressee.
