Liverpool Council leader Warren Bradley considered resigning during ethics investigation

Liverpool Council leader Warren Bradley apparently considered resigning during the Standards Board for England investigation into his behaviour.
Here is a copy of a leaked email he sent on Thursday:
From: Bradley, Warren (Leader of the City Council)
Sent: 05 February 2009 13:34
Subject: PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL - Standards Board
Dear All,
In case you haven't heard already, I have today been informed of the outcome regarding the allegations that were made about me to the standards board for England.
The outcome is that I have NOT breached any of the 'code of conduct' and NO further action will taken against me.
Can I thank my colleagues who stuck by me throughout the last 18+ months; it has put a tremendous strain on me and my family, and at times I was minded to throw my hand in.
The press coverage has been vitriolic against me and I now hope I am given the opportunity to a response.
Thanks again, I feel slightly relieved to say the least.
Best wishes
Warren


Could we ask him to reconsider?
Even this short email is barely literate. The phrase 'string' and 'two words together' come to mind.
