A few suggestions:
1) I'd take one more pass through this and strip the defensive stuff out ( we may have not been perfect stuff, etc.) just make it factual.
2) I'd move the sections on what Teneo does and what you do up to the top and then go through the details and how they have helped WJC; in this draft what the actual activities are sort of come in at the end.
3) If I were you I'd take Lasry out of this. You'll get into a deep debate about who's right and who's not with CC on this. The list is really strong without it, so why get into that.

Even though the facts speak for themselves.
John, I would appreciate your feedback and any suggestions
I'm also starting to worry that if this story gets out, we are screwed. Dk
and I built a business. 65 people work for us who have wives and husbands and kids, they all depend on us. Our business has almost nothing to do with the clintons, the foundation or cgi in any way. The chairman of ubs could care a less about cgi. Our fund clients who we do restructuring and m and a advising the same just as bhp nor tivo do. These are real companies who we provide real advice to through very serious people. Comm head for goldman, dep press secretary to bloomberg, former head of banking, and his team, from morgan stanley for asia and latin am.
I realize it is difficult to confront and reason with her but this could go to far and then we all will have a real serious set of other problems. I don't deserve this from her and deserve a tad more respect or at least a direct dialogue for me to explain these things. She is acting like a spoiled brat kid who has nothing else to do but create issues to justify what she's doing because she, as she has said, hasn't found her way and has a lack of focus in her life. I realize she will be off of this soon but if it doesn't come soon enough....
