We've started to see the benefits of a more focused approach </p><p class=MsoNormal>with our investments in programs like Amazon Future Engineer [7] and our </p><p class=MsoNormal>$2 billion investment in building affordable housing [8] in our hometown </p><p class=MsoNormal>communities through the Amazon Housing Equity Fund--and we will continue </p><p class=MsoNormal>to pursue and invest in other areas where we've seen we can make </p><p class=MsoNormal>meaningful change.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are writing to let you know that we have made plans to wind down </p><p class=MsoNormal>AmazonSmile by February 20, 2023.

The timing of this final </p><p class=MsoNormal>payment will be approximately 60 to 90 days after February 20, 2023.
