The purpose of the present note is to answer the following question of T. A. Gillespie,learned from G. J. Murphy [4]: for which sequences{an} of complex numbers does there exist a quasinilpotent operator Q on a (separable, infinite-dimensional, complex) Hilbert space H, which has{an} as a diagonal, that is (Qen,en)=n for some orthonormal basis{en} in H?
