Dear Mr. Pandit: Let's Seize This Moment

Dear Mr. Pandit: Let's Seize This Moment

The following is a letter from The Alternative Banking Group of Occupy Wall Street to Vikram Pandit, CEO of Citigroup. It was emailed to Mr. Pandit on Wednesday. He has yet to respond.

Dear Mr. Pandit:

Your shareholders recently asked you, as CEO of Citigroup, to rethink executive compensation. The conclusions you come to will have a huge impact on Wall Street. The Alternative Banking Group, a working group of Occupy Wall Street, remains ready to sit down with you and share our perspective.

But we must not wait any longer; the timing is urgent.

Last October, you invited Occupy Wall Street to meet with you. On February 27, we accepted your offer. On March 7, your assistant told us that you had received our message and would get back to us shortly. We have yet to hear from you. We trust that you will keep your word and respond to us now.

This is a historical moment. Let us seize it together.

Sincerely,

Cathy O’Neil
The Alternative Banking Group
Occupy Wall Street
