Resignation letter from Léon Charles :

"[...] Mr. Minister

Having been implicated in an absolutely unjust and slanderous manner by the order of the investigating judge responsible for investigating the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse;

Determined, although the order has not yet been served on me, to vigorously combat, by all legal means, the fanciful accusations brought against me in order to have my innocence recognized and my honor cleared ;

Must benefit for this purpose from all necessary freedom of maneuver and speech, but being limited today by my status as a diplomat in the service of the Government ;

I have the advantage of submitting my resignation as Permanent Representative of the Republic of Haiti to the Organization of American States. This resignation takes effect upon receipt of this letter.

Accept, Mr. Minister, my distinguished considerations.

Léon Charles

Ambassador

Former Permanent Representative of Haiti to the Organization of American States"
