Oh, and P.S. I have taken the liberty to inform other industry professionals, both within and outside this firm, of your request. I suggest you give up on film-making, Mr. Caraway.

Re: Pitch for THE DEAL WE CUT: A DELVE INTO MIDAS' GOLDEN CASTLE

Mr. Caraway,

I DID NOT ask for you to send this. In fact, I distinctly remember TURNING DOWN your offer when you first pitched the idea to me.

In case you don't understand what this means, let me break it down for you.

1. IF your story is true (and given there's no footage to prove it, the veracity of your claims is QUESTIONABLE at best), then what you did in leaving your camera crew behind is morally REPREHENSIBLE. What you DESERVE is to be sent to PRISON.

2. Bringing up the topic of footage, what you're asking this firm to fund is a reenactment of YOUR OWN STORY. Which I have already established CANNOT be PROVEN TRUE. Do you really expect me—ANYONE—to believe your crew (who are NOT archaeologists) just STUMBLED across this mythical landmark that NO ONE ELSE has ever found before? Yet you REFUSE to divulge its whereabouts for fear that someone else will steal this opportunity out from under you? What a load of GARBAGE. Your request is LAUGHABLE Mr. Caraway. No, it's DISGUSTING. This firm will not fund the FABRICATION of footage for these BASELESS claims.

3. Your true intentions slip in the lines "Now it's time to let [my wish] come true" and "There's a lot of money in it for us" AND "I swear I'll make you as rich as a king". I DO NOT believe you mean to educate ANYONE Mr. Caraway. What I BELIEVE is that you are a CON ARTIST. And not a very good one at that.

I'm tired of our correspondence Mr. Caraway. I'll be blocking this address and any other means by which you attempt to contact me in future.

Do NOT follow up
