Exhibit (i)

August     , 2016

Dear            :

As an important voice within our industry, I am pleased to share with you some exciting news. Medivation has reached an agreement to be acquired by Pfizer. Upon completion of the transaction, Medivation will be part of Pfizer’s Innovative Health Business.

Together, Pfizer and Medivation will be a strong force in helping patients and their caregivers with innovative treatments that can help improve the quality of their lives. This combination represents a new chapter of growth and development for Medivation and we are excited about partnering with the Pfizer team to make an even greater impact on patients. As part of the Pfizer family, we will gain scale and resources to advance our goals of improving patient outcomes on a global basis and delivering innovative medicines.

We expect the transaction to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2016. Until then, we will continue to operate as an independent company and it is business as usual at Medivation. Our chief priority is to maintain our strong and rewarding relationship with you so that, together, we can continue to help patients in need. We expect a seamless transition to Pfizer once the transaction is completed.

We value our relationship with you, and will keep you informed of any important developments.

We are excited by the possibilities the combination of Pfizer and Medivation will create for physicians, patients, and our employees. I look forward to sharing more information in the coming months.

Sincerely,
