Dear Lawrence and Nancy: Please see the below and let me know =our thoughts. Once we finalize, let's look at sending =omorrow. Having read all the emails you forwarded, I strongly =dvise you not to correspond with anyone

## DRAFT letter to Buzzfeed

To whom =t may concern:

I am writing as litigation counsel to =rofessor Lawrence Krauss. It has come to my attention that =uzzfeed has engaged in an outrageous and protracted defamation campaign =gainst Professor Krauss, both in the form of libel and slander. =uzzfeed's campaign has been malicious, and undertaken with =bsolute reckless disregard for the truth. Your defamatory efforts =ave also been undertaken, for reasons known only to you, with the =ntention of tortiously interfering with the contracts of Professor =rauss, and Buzzfeed has unfortunately succeeded in this malignant =urpose. We have both testimony and documents from a litany of =ell respected third parties that provide overwhelming evidence of =uzzfeed's malfeasant attacks on Professor Krauss. We are =till tallying the damage.

Buzzfeed will immediately cease and =esist from further defamatory statements regarding Professor Krauss, =nd will immediately cease and desist from any further efforts to =ortiously interfere with Professor Krauss' contracts. If =ou are unwise enough to ignore this notice to cease and desist from the =ctions described above, the commensurate legal response will be =wift.

If =homever your litigation counsel is wishes to send me a letter in =esponse to the above, be aware that I may, depending on its contents =nd because I would be obligated to forward it to my client, consider =uch letter to also constitute a violation of the above and react =ccordingly. Professor Krauss has suffered enough abuse at your =ands without the appropriate consequences. =nbsp;

Sincerely,
Adam Waldman
