American International Group Inc. has released a letter Benmosche sent to employees Wednesday following a Wall Street Journal report that said he was threatening to quit.

The CEO told employees that he and the company's board "remain totally committed to leading AIG through its challenges." To read the full memo Mr. Benmosche sent to employees today, click here. AIG is under close government scrutiny after receiving a bailout package worth up to $182.5 billion from the overnment in exchange for an 80 percent stake in the company. That bailout package also includes restrictions on compensation for the insurer's 100 highest-paid employees. Benmosche took over as CEO three months ago.
