From: Deborah J Cohen <deco@MIT.EDU> To: Lesley Groff <a Subject: Re: fund Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:09:42 +0000 Hi Lesley-- I'm making an executive decision, and having you send the note and check to me, so that I can let Seth and the department know at the same time we put it through the Recording Secretary's Office. Note should include purpose and pledge plan (e.g., "Enclosed please find the first of two $50,000 payments toward a pledge/gift of $100,000 for discretionary research support of Professor Seth Lloyd. I expect to make the second payment on or before [date]." See address info below, and please extend many thanks! I am about to board the train to NYC, so may be somewhat out of reach but will have my cellphone (617-460- 2290) if you need me. Best, Deb Deborah J.

If easy on your end, since you are also sending a check, you can just send it with a "conventional" letter from Jeffrey, in the same envelope; that way it's all together. You have the mailing EFTA00410638 address from my earlier email, yes?

Many thanks for your wonderful support!

Yours, Seth Seth and Caroline (in Sucharita's absence)-- We need to provide a bit more information for Kathy to set up the new account. P lease see her questions, below. As for the rest of the information, Seth, if you prefer, I can ask Lesley for it- -unless you already have it. Please let me know? When do we expect payment? Please also send the donor's commitment from his/ her e-mail, or I can do a for mal pledge agreement. We need either a pledge fortn/e-mail or $ to be able to establish this fund and add it to the> Gift system and SAP> Unless you already have received money (I know the intent is to pay in two $50K i nstallments), Kathy needs either an email from Lesley (you may have?) saying she EFTA00410640 intends to make the gift(s), or Kathy can provide a pledge agreement form (it's brief), for Lesley to complete. I'll need a name and fund center for the fund. Please also send along a brief statement of fund purpose. Caroline, can you provide a fund center? Seth, for the name and fund purpose, here's a suggestion, which you may want to e dit, and/or run by the donor: "Lesley Groff Fund, to provide discretionary resea rch support to Prof. Seth Lloyd in the Department of Mechanical Engineering."
