Subject: Quick check with you on a press question - time sensitive

Hi Jon,
I hope you're doing ok. We have been approached by Reuters to comment on the libel trial in the UK between J. Depp and Amber Heard. Based on their questions, we are planning to respond with the below, but can you let me know if you're ok with it from a development perspective, for accuracy:

Amber Heard is an ACLU Ambassador for Women's Rights since 2018. While we typically do not share information about our donors, because Amber shared the information publicly we can confirm that she donated her full settlement to charity - 50% to the ACLU and 50% to another organization.

Hi Jessica,
I hope you're well, too.
I defer to Mark on how we want to answer this question. I cannot confirm the accuracy of the statement.
Thanks.
-Jon

Mark - is the donation language accurate?

It's not quite accurate. You could say that she "pledged" the full settlement to charity, but we've only received a portion of the pledge to date...

I don't have the exact numbers at hand but I think she's contributed less than half of the pledge to date. Jon, does that sound right?

Yes that's right, Mark.
