Dear Friend,

Please be advised that I have declined serving as a reviewer for Philip Morris and have requested that my name be immediately removed from any Philip Morris literature and announcements.

My initial acceptance to serve was based on the chronic shortage of funds available to basic research scientists and the perhaps na•ve notion that this organization might support "good research." Subsequently, I realized that the "cost" of such funding is too high. In this regard, I appreciate your efforts in furthering basic science research.

Sincerely,
Mark Smith--
