The full text of Greenwald's message is as follows.

To all friends, family, colleagues,

In recent months, I've been thinking about this farewell message.

This was just a trial for humans who couldn't do the lyrics.

With the mission of rebuilding a house made by Acmet, he came to Atlantic Records in the ninth month of pregnancy.

Fortunately, I found a partner trying to start something new by rolling my sleeves.

Craig and I chased each other and shared the same vision.

We wanted to create dangerous cultures that encourage creativity.

Every native remembers that our magic number was 34 albums a year. And our strategy was successful.

We have contracted, raised and produced with one of the world's largest artists. No matter how long the singles were released, no mickstape or albums, we continued to participate in the struggle. The advertising project was strange than any other project.

Our goal was not just a shield, but a resale of a large number of tickets.

The background of our vision was MSG first, followed by O2.

For us, making a big thing was not a simple sentence that was heard in the pitching session, but a true achievement.

All success is thanks to the perfect combination of extraordinary designers and the best staff.

I can't thank everyone who connected through Atlantic High, Elektra, FBR, Roadrunner, 300, WMG.

(And if I meet you directly, I will create it in the right way).

I am very grateful to Rior, Steve, and Max for many years to help us for many years.

It was always a gift of teamwork.

Until now, Craig, Kaiser, and Sheila, one of my partners, will continue to thank one of the biggest attractions in the music world.

Give the key to the Acmeto's house to Elena, Robert, Elliott, Zack, and Tony. I will do my best for you and continue to be a big fan of Atlantic.

And to all artists: I will continue to be your big fan. < SPAN> Craig and I chased each other and shared the same vision.
