XXXXX   was charged with xx felony counts of public corruption and is a fired disgruntled xxxxxxxx employee.  

Why is XXXXX   sending you emails?: In January 201x the newly elected xxxxx xxxx Board of Directors discovered that XXXXX   had been illegally hired (lied on his employment application and concealed his criminal convictions)  into a non-existent position in violation of California law and therefore fired him.  He sends false and defamatory emails in hopes of defaming, coercing and intimidating xxxxxx xxxxxx Board Members to rehire him or pay him $2.4 million for his 7 days of employment. 

What can or should be done?: Ask XXXXX   to take you off his mailing list.  Write to xxxx xxxxx News and request that they stop printing defamatory stories for this criminal.
