Dear Sir or Madam,

We would be remiss if we did not, first and foremost, acknowledge that any fears you have of public exposure are indeed warranted. The crimes (or mere malfeasance) you have committed or are committing, or have abetted or are abetting, or are merely cognizant of, are of such a scope and gravity that those whom they benefit and those whose good name they implicate would certainly issue grave consequences to any man or woman who held such actions to public scrutiny. To assume the office of President of the United States at this point in history is to be first and foremost among all members of the species; to have at once the power to command, compel, coerce, aid, or enjoin any endeavor one chooses, to craft a unified but nevertheless intimate vision into the workaday circumstances which govern an entire planet. If a man would kill for oil, would kill to feed his family, would kill to save his people, would kill to save himself, would kill to achieve the utmost letter of his destiny, he would kill -- or allow others to kill -- to obtain the Presidency of the United States. Perhaps you fear such a consequence for exposing what you know and revealing who else it is that knows the things you know; perhaps you don't. Perhaps you think this warning is needlessly vainglorious; perhaps you think the identifying mark of an adequate warning is whether or not it issues notice of all that is possible, whether or not any of it is, in the final accounting, certain or even probable. So perhaps you would not face physical harm as an election-fraud whistleblower -- but if you are an election-fraud whistleblower, you know as well as we do you've considered the intimate details of such an eventuality.

So why take the extraordinary step of informing on a sitting presidential administration? Why aim to shock the world when you still have hope of dying in peaceful obscurity?
