Exhibit 99.2

Dear Team,

A few minutes ago, we filed our consent revocation statement with the SEC. The filing details our opposition to Sanofi’s tactical maneuver to replace our entire Board with its hand-picked nominees to facilitate its substantially inadequate and opportunistically-timed proposal to acquire Medivation. I hope you take a few moments to review our press release, which can be found here. http://investors.medivation.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=973172

In short, we firmly believe that our Company and stockholders will be best served with our highly knowledgeable and talented Directors continuing to make decisions about our future compared to Sanofi’s nominees who have minimal biotechnology industry experience and who have been selected by Sanofi with an expectation that they will facilitate Sanofi’s agenda.

There are several more procedural steps that need to occur before either Medivation or Sanofi can begin receiving from stockholders consent forms or consent revocations – the voting cards that stockholders will use to reflect their decision. This includes SEC review and clearance of Medivation’s and Sanofi’s consent materials, which typically takes a few weeks.

We will keep you posted as we move through this process. Thank you again for your continued support and dedication. Have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend.

Sincerely,

David & Marion
