I take this action after 11 years of dedicated, honorable service to A.I.G. I can no longer effectively perform my duties in this dysfunctional environment, nor am I being paid to do so. Like you, I was asked to work for an annual salary of $1, and I agreed out of a sense of duty to the company and to the public officials who have come to its aid. Having now been let down by both, I can no longer justify spending 10, 12, 14 hours a day away from my family for the benefit of those who have let me down.
在做出这个决定前，我已经为公司奉献了11年高质量的服务。但是如今我没有办法在这种不正常的环境下继续善尽我的职责，而且公司也不再为此付我薪水了。和你一样，我也被要求以年薪1美元的代价工作，而且我也同意了，因为我认为我不只对公司有责任，而且也对提供援助的政府有责任。但是现在两者都让我失望了，我没有办法再每天花上10个、12个、甚至 14个小时，不陪伴家人，却为了让我失望的人的利益继续工作。
You and I have never met or spoken to each other, so I’d like to tell you about myself. I was raised by schoolteachers working multiple jobs in a world of closing steel mills. My hard work earned me acceptance to M.I.T., and the institute’s generous financial aid enabled me to attend. I had fulfilled my American dream.
你和我从来没有单独见面或交谈过，所以我想和你谈谈我自己的一些背景。我的父母都是学校教师，我是在钢铁厂里长大的，那些厂如今都倒闭了。我努力学习，被麻省理工学院录取，靠奖学金读完了大学。我在自己身上实现了美国梦。
I started at this company in 1998 as an equity trader, became the head of equity and commodity trading and, a couple of years before A.I.G.’s meltdown last September, was named the head of business development for commodities. Over this period the equity and commodity units were consistently profitable — in most years generating net profits of well over $100 million. Most recently, during the dismantling of A.I.G.-F.P., I was an integral player in the pending sale of its well-regarded commodity index business to UBS. As you know, business unit sales like this are crucial to A.I.G.’s effort to repay the American taxpayer.
