Pledge letter

March 10, 2011

 

Dear Warren,

I’m delighted to join with you, Bill and Melinda in the Giving Pledge. This country has been wonderful to me and Annette, and we have long planned to return a substantial majority of our wealth to society. Though we have made many philanthropic gifts during our lifetimes and plan to do more, we have also established trusts to carry on this giving after my death. My intent is that philanthropy will exceed 50% of my wealth.

I hope others who have benefited from this country as I have join with your efforts now and in the future.

Sincerely,

Annette and Harold Simmons signature
