Hello Mr. [NAME OF THE VICTIM/KEY WITNESS/WHISTLE-BLOWER, REDACTED FOR PRIVACY],

Thank you for your email. Yes, we have had some changes in personnel here since you last corresponded. I’m glad you were able to find me.

I’ve considered your proposal and discussed it with one of our reporters.

We are of course backed up with plenty of work involving the pandemic and Brexit.

We must decline your offer. But if a court of law decides to accept this case and investigate this potential scandal, we would be more interested.

Thank you.
Kevin Granville

I am a key witness, whistleblower, in the major criminal case targeting McDonald’s Corporation and their accomplices for fraud, money laundering, and corruption of foreign officials and magistrates. The European Court of Human Rights approved my request for anonymity (Rules 33 and 47 of the Rules of Court).
