Alberto, | wd

I received your short letter with. great disappointment. Unfortunately, today, I cannot |
accept your “resignation”. I’m sorry, but it is not that simple to abandon a “family member”, no
matter how frustrating or good-looking he may be. |

If my appreciation for both you and your talent has not been adequately expressed as you
and T have not spoken directly, I apologize. |

I am sure you have forgotten, but you had initially assured me that the island project
would be done for last Christmas. 1 have always been both gracious and generous in forgiving
the dates that have slipped by. You and 1 have, Lash, a unique understanding.

Jean, who soared ind the project would ba completzby the end of July, when in fact, for
example, till this day therg are still wooden packing erates for side tables in the living room, has "

yet to contact me. Furpitiyss avag suppesed to warive, but even inti today, T have not been told .
what and when to expect tho ules. oo

Alberto, it is your right to take on only jobs you want. It is both unfair, unfriendly and
unprofesgituil to simply leave ajob undone in the middle. This is not your way. I don’t believe
that you would treat a less friendly client with the same disregard.

I would hope that you will reconsider the big house Island roject. As you know, we
have bought many things for the interior and have incurred great expense to get permits and
drawings in a Moroccan style, but if you choose not to move forward, I think at a minimum, my
house should not be left in the state of disrepair in which it currently sits and should be brought
to completion as soon as possible. If Jean, who I have great — for, does not want to
complete it as I believe he is only an employee and as I have my total relationship not with Jean, | fs

ry

but with Cabinet Pinto, the obligation falls on you personally. This is only right, you know it is.
As you are aware, | was told repeatedly that you would call me upon return from your vacation

and both visit and finish the project. You and I have more of a friendship than my receiving, ina

frankly impolite way, only a letter and not even the phone call I was repeatedly promised,

(However, I know you don’t like tension) Please call me at your earliest convenience.

I remain your friend
