Re: THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
Max, hi. I am meeting with Noam and Valeria Chomsky in Arizona in a couple of weeks. Would you be able to send me by PDF a copy of the trust? Many thanks, Shari

Good afternoon Shari —
My apologies for the slow reply, but given the tensions surrounding this matter I felt the obligation to check with Deborah Quinan (as current counsel to Noam) before sending you a copy of the trust. I'm awaiting her reply and will get back to you as soon as I have authorization.
With appreciation for your patience,
Max

Max, Noam has requested that I obtain a copy, and inasmuch as he is a beneficiary, that would seem reasonable. I do not believe they have communicated about this meeting to Deborah Quinan, and therefore would ask that you not in case they prefer to be that first contact. Thank you, Shari

My apologies to you (and to Noam and Valeria) but as my message indicated I have already notified Deborah of your request. That said, your observation that Noam is a beneficiary of the trust and should thus be entitled to ask that I provide you with a copy is understood. I will forward a copy to you tomorrow.
Thanks,
Max

Good evening Noam —
I sent a copy of the trust (and the amendments) to Shari around 7am today and copied you and Valeria. As I'm home for the weekend now it would be quickest if you would forward that email to Rich, which will (in turn) allow him to forward the documents wherever he (and you) wish.
Thanks,
Max

Look at this!!! This is beyond belief. What gives Max so much confidence to act like this?
I feel like sending Max a letter myself about the disrespectful stance he is taking towards Noam. Until recently he had his invoices paid by us.

Stronger needed z. Ie I am appalled shocked horrified etc . Your behavior is unprofessional . And actions unfashionable

This is the letter I would like to send to Max before Noam writes to him again. (I think N's blood pressure went up after reading Max's letter) and Max needs to fix his tone when writing to Noam.
Max,
I remember that once you mentioned in a conversation with me and Noam that your father died too young. Not only that, but without taking advantage of life.
I imagine that you have been under a lot of pressure for some years now and this has been causing you a lot of stress. Life is a constant array of choices, and sometimes we have to weight well the stances we are taking, because they can become so heavy in our consciousness that can devastate someone's life. I am afraid that you have been taking stances that you are going deeply regret and hardly cope with them when you reach more advanced years.
The reason I mentioned your father in the beginning of this letter is because, I am sure that if you have had the chance to provide your father a better quality of life, you would have done so. But to recognize that all the resources in the world won't be able to recover those years when he was alive, or somehow bring him back, it is a horrible sensation of powerless.
I would like to request you -- at this point -- politely, that when you write to my husband, you keep a professional and respectful composition. I have been finding your letters to him beyond the boundaries. So I request that you fix your tone.
Valeria Chomsky
