Dear Jeffrey:

For the past six weeks my lawyer has been trying to
negotiate my severance
agreement with MJ LLC, which was supposed to kick in
ten days after my
termination. My contract called for an
eighteen-month settlement if I lost
my job "without cause," which certainly seems
justified given the magazine's
premature closing. In the interest of
expedience--and against my attorney's
strong advice--I offered to accept a six month
settlement, the minimum
provided in my contract. So I'm dismayed that this
issue has still not come
to a close.

Mort's attorney says he's ready to move forward, but
can't do so without
your consent. Last week we were told you were too
ill to be reached. On
Monday, my attorney spoke with Darren Indursky who
indicated he'd quickly
get back to Mort's attorney with your views.
Apparently he still hasn't
called.

As you know, I worked incredibly hard on Radar, only
to see the magazine
inexplicably killed just as it was hitting its
stride. I lived up to my
obligations under our agreement, so I don't
understand why MJ is having such
trouble meeting its own obligations, especially
since a six month settlement
represents a significant concession on my part.
Since we last spoke, I've
been in talks with Ron Burkle, who recently
submitted a bid for the
magazine's assets. I'm looking forward to reaching
some closure to the past
difficult year. But the severance issue remains a
frustrating bit of
unfinished business, and I'd appreciate your help in
bringing it to a speedy
resolution.

Thanks for your attention. I hope you're doing well.

Best,

Maer
