He was a great asset for this company and he will be sorely missed. Even stranger though, John Beal just handed me his letter of resignation and informed me that he, too, sold his entire 10% interest in Arrakis on December 31, Year 3. As of the date of the sale, John had an adjusted basis in the partnership of $30,000. According to the records in front of me, John became a partner exactly one year ago today on January 3, Year 3. John did not seem overly excited like Paul, per your description; however, he did mention that he sold his interest for $50,000 to a party known as Lenina. Similarly, we should expect to hear from Lenina before the end of the week. Regards, Randy Email from Tyler Hudson To: Randy Jaegar, Partner From: Tyler Hudson, Partner Date: January 3, Year 4 RE: Sale of Partnership Interest Hey Randy, I just got off of the phone with Paul Ludden who had some surprising news for me. Apparently, on December 31, Year 3, Paul sold his entire 35% interest in Arrakis. According to our records, Paul's interest at that date had an adjusted basis of $115,000, and he has been a partner here since Year 1. Additionally, Paul must have been overly excited because he let it slip that he sold his interest for $175,000. He told me that we should be expecting a phone call from the new partner, Leto, in a couple of days. Hopefully we can transition smoothly before work gets too crazy later on this year. I'll let you know if I hear anything more from Paul.
