Informal email exchange between former Barclays executives Jes Staley and John McFarlane

However I do feel we’ve ceased the rally for you [sic] head today. Surely the fickleminded nature of the angry few will help tie up any loose ends. You owe me a large Scotch.

You have a sense of what is right, and you have a sense of theatre. You mix humor with grit. Thank you John. Never underestimate my recognition of your support. And my respect for your guile. And some day I want to see an ad lib guitar run. You have all the fearlessness of Clapton. Thank you.
