Location: Buffalo; New York
Subject: A change for the company.
I'm gonna' be short and to the point:
We're letting you go.
Now. I bet by now, your jaw has dropped. Right? RIGHT!? If it hasn't, well, meh. LaBrie, Petrucci, and the other lovely people I call my friends got drunk and started crunching numbers. One of the negative numbers, mainly being you, was very noticeable. We all double-checked, making sure it was a smudge. Sadly, it wasn't. On behalf of the Raiders, we have deemed you a liability.
So until further ado, consider our contracts cut for these reasons:
1. You cost us more money than we gain.
2. We have noticed no beneficial side effects to your blood thirst. Just more angry people.
3. People are drawing your contracts to our organization, shooting down our ships to get at you.
4. The Navy has stepped up patrols due to the merc issue, making it unsafe for us.
Sorry, hon, but you're canned. Please find new employers.
