RE: Need your help

Hi Jeff,

It has been some time since we last spoke and hope all is well with you.

Since leaving the dental school, I have been at the Mailman School of Public Health, which has been a terrific experience.

As you recall, you were kind enough to provide me with an unrestricted gift when I began my work at the School of Public Health. This support was invaluable, and contributed to advancing discussion about the future of the dental profession, and the importance of oral findings in persons with diabetes mellitus. This resulted in the publication of 1 book, 2 monographs, 2 other book chapters and numerous papers in refereed journals.

After 28 years, however, I have decided to leave Columbia and explore some other opportunities. I will be taking a part-time faculty appointment at the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine, with a focus on developing their global oral health program.

Here is my request: some of the money you provided will remain in my gift account at the end of June, when I will be leaving Columbia. I would like to move those funds to Stony Brook to support my work there, but need the permission of the donor, meaning you. If those funds are not moved, they will revert to Columbia.

Please let me know if you agree to this request

Thanks, and look forward to hearing from you.

Ira
