Patriot,

I’m reaching out today to share something deeply important — something I’ve only told a very small number of trusted allies.

I’ve just made a major decision about my future, and because of the trust and respect I have for you, I wanted you to hear it directly from me.

This is not public knowledge, and I need your help keeping it that way. 

Our opponents are looking for any opportunity to exploit what comes next — and I’m counting on your discretion.

Once you’ve had a chance to read it, I’d truly welcome your thoughts. Your judgment has always meant a great deal to me.

Thank you — and God bless.

In service,

Mike Pompeo

70th Secretary of State
