    To the employees that started 2011 in the Securities division: we could not have done this with you, that's why we fired you.

    Including a sincerely written thank you note as part of your total comp seems like it's not the NKI

    I'd also like to thank our IR dept. for helping us elude the pesky concept of a preferred return.

    After a week of hard work, layoff anouncements and shitty bonuses, you know what I think would cheer up the Dealbreaker commentariat? A story about you and your neighbour's hilarious hijinks. I think I speak for everyone here when I say, sincerely and from the bottom of our hearts, "Thank You!"

    I thought you were only supposed to write the words "thank you" in italics after after a positive sexual experience was had.

    I also want to express my gratitude to our investors, who while unable to redeem because of our gate, "stuck" with us through this time.
