Strauss-Kahn bids farewell to his colleagues in the IMF with an email

Dominique Strauss-Khan has tried to explain to his colleagues until a week ago why he resigned the post he occupied. "I can not accept that the Fund, and you, dear colleagues, have to share my own personal nightmare. Then I had to leave." Strauss-Khan, 62, resigned last week as chief of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after the cleaning lady in a hotel in Manhattan will present a complaint against him for sexual assault.

In an email sent to the man who replaced him in office, John Lipsky, and requested that it be forwarded to the rest of the Fund, the economist and former finance minister of France regretted "with deep sadness and frustration" they had to leave "under these circumstances." "I deny in the strongest possible terms the allegations to which I face," Strauss-Kahn wrote in the email you forwarded Lipsky workers on Sunday night to their accounts of the international organization.

"I hope the truth will prevail and I will be exonerated," continues the political. Nominations to replace the former managing director and were beginning to reach the Fund on Monday, opened with a struggle between Europe and developing countries, who believe that it is time to break an unwritten rule that it is a European who chairs the IMF.

Strauss-Kahn on Friday left Rikers prison in New York, where he spent five nights after his arrest, and two nights of passage through the cells at a police station in Harlem, on Saturday May 14 after the allegation by Sofitel hotel waitress the president tried to force her to perform oral sex.

The former head manager is now on probation in an apartment in New York, besieged by the press and the curious, you can not leave and he lives under house arrest for 24 hours, seven days a week, guarded by a costly security agency that pays himself. "What the institution [IMF] has achieved over the past three and half years is the result of your thought, your work and your belief," continues in the email.

"You should be proud of what you have achieved. There is much to be done at a crucial moment, but getting it will go and I'll be glad when that happens," says the exmandatario financial institution you choose destination countries. Strauss-Khan ends his message by thanking the employees of the IMF and wishing them luck in the future.

His goodbye is written in French, the nationality of the man who was destined to succeed President Nicolas Sarkozy: "Au Revoir." And signature: Dominique.
