Thank you for your interest in JPMorgan Chase's approach to charitable giving and our recent acquisition of Washington Mutual's banking operations.

First, we are proud to have provided an important service to WaMu communities around the country when we acquired all of WaMu customer deposits -- FDIC insured and uninsured -- and continued uninterrupted banking service to millions of customers.

More broadly, we are known around the globe -- and in local markets -- for our generosity and active community citizenship. This summer, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency awarded us an outstanding rating for our work helping families buy homes, financing small businesses and making our communities better. Our website (www.jpmchase.com/community) provides an overview of our giving program as well as our most recent Community Partnership report.

We take seriously our responsibility to support our communities, and we look forward to integrating WaMu's culture of giving as we create a combined Corporate Responsibility strategy. Once we have finalized the strategy, we will share it broadly.

In carrying forward our legacy of philanthropic and community leadership, we look forward to using the JPMorgan Chase Foundation to help the cities and communities our company now serves.

Thank You,

Kimberly Davis, President, JPMorgan Chase Foundation
Senior Vice President, Global Philanthropy
