From: Peter Mandelson Sent: Monday, August 13, 2012 6:19 PM To: Jeffrey Epstein Subject: boy I seem to be emailing into a void but if anyone is listening, I think =amie's I/v in New Yorker makes an important point: large banks can do big =hings internationally for a country's major companies that small banks cou=d not do. It is why Britain needs global banks, eg Barclays, if we want to sustain our global business inter=sts, and this should be remembered in the rush to break them up. =0:p> Chairman<A> 1 Knightsbridge Green, London SW1X 7NW<=b> www.global-counsel.co.uk <http://www.global-counsel.co.ukh Disclaimer This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended s=lely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
