Summary
This document is a letter from Guardian journalist David Pegg to an unnamed individual, sent shortly before the stated deadline of January 12, 2015. The letter lists several allegations for comment before publication, including the recipient's financial links to Leslie Wexner, close associations with Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Kevin Spacey, and substantial donations to the Clintons' philanthropic causes. It warns that a generic denial will not be considered a substantive response and provides contact details (partially redacted) for The Guardian.

5) Your above accounts were also linked with Mr Leslie Wexner.
6) You are known to be or have previously been closely associated with Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and Kevin Spacey.
7) You have made substantial contributions to the Clintons' philanthropic causes. Tax reform campaigners have previously been critical of those who engage in public life or the political process while avoiding or evading tax. Hilary Clinton herself, speaking in 2012, noted the importance of elites paying a substantial share of tax: "One of the issues that I have been preaching about around the world is collecting taxes in an equitable manner — especially from the elites in every country."
It is intended shortly to publish the results of our survey in both the US and the UK.
As responsible journalists acting in the public interest, we would first like to give you the opportunity to comment.
If we do not hear from you by 18:00 on Monday 12th January 2015 (preferably by email to [REDACTED]) we shall proceed on the basis that you do not wish to comment on or amend our information.
But we have approached you in a straightforward fashion and hope you will take this opportunity to respond if you wish. Your substantive responses to each of our numbered points will be carefully considered and published if appropriate.
(For the avoidance of doubt, we do not normally regard any generalised assertion of “inaccuracies” as a substantive response; nor any generalised statement that the holders acted on advice. Neither will we regard as substantive any comment that only refers to the present state of affairs and not to the past.)
We are, of course, happy to discuss directly any concerns you may have.
We would be most grateful if you would acknowledge receipt of this letter. This will save us from chasing.
Yours faithfully,
David Pegg
