A Response from Goldman Sachs
>From Chairman Lloyd Blankfein

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – The following letter to Goldman Sachs'
worldwide clients was issued today by Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein:

Dear Goldman Client:

By now, many of you have probably read the regrettable resignation letter
published in today's New York Times by former Goldman executive Greg
Smith, explaining why he is leaving the firm after twelve years.

In the letter, in which he excoriates Goldman and his practices, Mr. Smith
comes across as a man of conscience, ideals, and high moral standards.
And as you read his words, you no doubt asked yourself this troubling
question: how could Goldman have hired such a person?

At Goldman, we pride ourselves on our ability to scour the world's
universities and business schools for the finest sociopaths money will
buy. Once in our internship program, these youths are subjected to
rigorous evaluations to root out even the slightest evidence of a soul.
But, as the case of Mr. Smith shows, even the most time-tested system for
detecting shreds of humanity can blow a gasket now and then. For that, we
can only offer you our deepest apology and the reassurance that one good
apple won't spoil the whole bunch.

As to those of you who were serviced by Mr. Smith, it's understandable
that you would be concerned about who will be taking his place going
forward. On that front, I have some exciting news: today, Goldman is
pleased to announce that our new executive director and head of the United
States equity derivatives business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa
will be Mr. Joseph Kony. For those unfamiliar with Mr. Kony's resume, let
me assure you that he has the character and moral standards you have come
to expect from Goldman, and like the rest of us here at the bank, he has
dedicated his life to doing the Lord's work.

Sincerely,

Lloyd Blankfein

CEO, Goldman Sachs
