Dear Lawrence and Nancy: Please see the below and let me =now your thoughts. Once we finalize, let's look at =ending tomorrow. Having read all the emails you forwarded, I =trongly advise you not to correspond with anyone

DRAFT letter to Buzzfeed

To whom it may concern:

I am writing as litigation counsel to Professor Lawrence =rauss. It has come to my attention that Buzzfeed has engaged in =n outrageous and protracted defamation campaign against Professor =rauss, both in the form of libel and slander. Buzzfeed's =ampaign has been malicious, and undertaken with absolute reckless disregard for =he truth. Your defamatory efforts have also been undertaken, for =easons known only to you, with the intention of tortiously interfering =ith the contracts of Professor Krauss, and Buzzfeed has unfortunately succeeded in this malignant purpose. We have =oth testimony and documents from a litany of well respected third =arties that provide overwhelming evidence of Buzzfeed's =alfeasant attacks on Professor Krauss. We are still tallying the =amage.

Buzzfeed will immediately cease and desist from further =efamatory statements regarding Professor Krauss, and will immediately =ease and desist from any further efforts to tortiously interfere with =rofessor Krauss' contracts. If you are unwise enough to ignore this notice to cease and desist from the actions described =bove, the commensurate legal response will be swift.

If whomever your litigation counsel is wishes to send me = letter in response to the above, be aware that I may, depending on its =ontents and because I would be obligated to forward it to my client, =onsider such letter to also constitute a violation of the above and react accordingly. Professor Krauss has suffered =nough abuse at your hands without the appropriate consequences. =nbsp;

Sincerely,

Adam Waldman
