EXHIBIT B Case 1:21-cr-00746-MKV Document 118-2 Filed 04/24/23 Page 1 of 3 Wunmi Fadipe-Ilori St. Albans, NY 11412 February 13th, 2023 Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil United States Courthouse New York, NY 10007 Dear Judge Vyskocil, I am writing this letter to ask for leniency on behalf of my husband and father to my children, Adedayo Ilori. I hope that this can help you see what kind of person Adedayo is despite the transgressions that have led us all to this point. I feel strongly about Adedayo’s future and i want to try and make you feel the same way. i’ve known Adedayo for over 22 years now and despite his shortcomings, he is truly a good person. I realize that this may seem hard to believe given the current circumstances, but it is true nonetheless. I have seen Adedayo go through many trials and tribulations during these years which we have been together and somehow he still manages to look at life from a positive perspective. We separated for a period of about 5 years (2014 - 2019) and when the pandemic came the reality of life brought us back together as a family. Adedayo and I have 2 kids together , a boy and girl, ages 12 and 16 respectively and he has been nothing short of a great father in their lives. He is an amazing father and although that may be something you hear frequently, but i wish you could witness their relationship with them. He helps to take them to school and picks them up. He assists them with their homework and as a Personal Trainer makes physical activity his way of bonding with them outside of their academic studies. He’s a good husband and friend to me and he extends himself in any capacity that i may require of him. I currently work as an Executive Assistant for an Investment banking Firm and have held different positions with the same company for 23 years. I am diligent with my work and have a 9 to 5 schedule that does not allow me to drop and pick up the kids without being late for work. He steps up by moving his schedule around to make the children his priority while i’m at work. He pushes me to do more and this summer through his encouragement, I was able to finish my Bachelors degree. I believe as a child our parents are the most important and influential people we can ever encounter. Ever since i could remember, i’ve looked up to my Mom and Dad. Whether for guidance, support, advice, or just a big hug. They have been my true friends and have always been there for me throughout my life and i have consistently tried to provide the same for my kids. I do not want the absence of their father to have a negative impact on their upbringing or for them to feel any less loved as a child because their father is unable to help raise them physically. Adedayo is 1 of 2 siblings with his brother and Step Father both residing in London, England. His Mother is a retired Nurse who currently resides in Nigeria along with his biological Father who suffered 3 strokes and currently Immobile due to the illness. Adedayo does his best to help them in any capacity that he can. He has always been a helpful and thoughtful person. He’s always willing to put others before himself. Case 1:21-cr-00746-MKV Document 118-2 Filed 04/24/23 Page 2 of 3 It is unfortunate that Adedayo has made some poor decisions which led us here and i am very disappointed with his choices. However, that does not overlook the good characteristics he has as a Son, Husband, Father, Friend, and as a person. I believe that as we move forward he will be a better person and this will serve a lesson that he can look back on and use as a teaching moment to younger ones. I believe that everyone makes mistakes and with this mistakes the opportunity to learn from them. Sadly, it took too many of these mistakes for him to understand the value of his freedom. Adedayo turned 45 years of age this past . In our recent conversations, he recognizes that he has made mistakes and i sincerely ask that you please find it in your heart to show leniency while sentencing him and temper justice with mercy with the believe that he can and will contribute to the growth of his own family and that of society as well. Thank you for your consideration and thank you for taking the time to read this letter. If you have any inquiries please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Wunmi Fadipe-Ilori T: (347) 204-0310 E: wunmiilori01@gmail.com Case 1:21-cr-00746-MKV Document 118-2 Filed 04/24/23 Page 3 of 3
