today is Oct 15
With your full knowledge I paid out 8 mil to my staff before june, . so i guess I can safely assume that after
consideration of all the things I did for the entire past year separate and apart from your unique free "after
care" concept. , what you thought was ultimately fair was the contribution of 5 million to a foundation
and a total of 2 million dollars to me.

josh's arrival cut short our needed conversation. I understand we have a difference of opinion. friends
sometimes disagree, I shook on the 20 so you have no further obligation, none, I am willing to have brad
karp hear both sides. as my view , you and i had an agreement. on phaidon /publishing, and then a long
standing what you say is 28 , which is correct AFTer TAx. , 37 pre. . that was our numbers. I was clear what
i thought the transactions were worth. far less than full. alan etc. , had you said i will pay you only 20 . i
would have said ill pass. you never told me that 50-60 the number that i put on the table at the very beginning
was not right. you asked that i lay out my plan step by step. and what i believe would have been the fair thing
to do is say to me, I will pay you only 20 if you do as i ask, not tell me for the first time only after i laid it
all out . had it not been you, i would have required payment in escrow. BEFORE fyi the reason I sent you
an invoice so that if you decided that you wanted me to continue this year . it would be applied to last years
income. I think today was a beginiing for you. I am glad I will meet wendy the 23, rd, . separate and aprt
from being your sounding board for personal issues, I do not see my involvment moving forward.

Tenancy in common is a type of shared ownership of property, where each owner owns a share of the
property. Unlike in a joint tenancy, these shares can be of unequal size, and can be freely transfered to other
owners both during life and via a will. Even if owners own unequal shares, however, all owners have the right
to occupy and use all of the property.
