Here's a copy of an e-mail Citigroup intern Lucy Gao sent to her colleagues BEFORE all the media fuss about her original e-mail missive started. Since this mail was written, Lucy has featured in The Guardian, The Financial Times, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, The Sun, Here Is The City, and various Wall Street blogs. Way to go, girl!

'From: Gao, Lucy (CIR)

Subject: FROM the girl herself......

Hi Fellow Citigroup Interns,

Just to clear a few things up, now that it is seriously getting out of control, it was suppose(d) to be an internal joke between me and a couple of my guests to my 21st Party.

The actual party was great, and nothing like it so please do not worry. I should not have used my Citigroup email account in the first place so I apologise for that.

I am sorry if you found the content of the invitation details offensive and I am glad to entertain. But please stop now because it is getting really unprofessional and unnecessary, and a lot of you know me anyway and have heard about this so I apologise for repeating this again, but hopefully for the final time.

Cheers everyone...............

See you soon.

Lucy'

So, it appears that the original e-mail wasn't meant to be treated seriously after all. Guess the joke is on us media guys for taking the bait. Chin up Lucy, we don't think you're a silly Gao!
