Dear Lawrence and Nancy: Please see =he below and let me know your thoughts. Once we finalize, let =99s look at sending tomorrow. Having read all the emails you =orwarded, I strongly advise you not to correspond with anyone =nbsp;

DRAFT =etter to Buzzfeed

To whom it may =oncern:

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 =isregard for the truth. Your defamatory efforts have also been =ndertaken, for reasons known only to you, with the intention of =ortiously interfering with the contracts of Professor Krauss, and =uzzfeed has unfortunately succeeded in this malignant purpose. We =ave both testimony and documents from a litany of well respected third =artier 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 =gnore this notice to cease and desist from the actions described above, =he commensurate legal response will be swift.

If whomever your =itigation counsel is wishes to send me a letter in response to the =bove, be aware that I may, depending on its contents and because I =ould be obligated to forward it to my client, consider such letter to =lso constitute a violation of the above and react accordingly. =rofessor Krauss has suffered enough abuse at your hands without the =ppropriate consequences.

Sincerely,

<signature> Adam =aldman
