Good morning Barrett,

I was just informed of bad news.
The producer decided to cancel this story at the last minute
and I am afraid that we'd like to withdraw our request to
interview you tomorrow.  We are very sorry.

However if it is all right with you, I'd like to contact you again
when a similar project comes up for different news programs.  
The meeting this weekend is expected to attract attentions  
and there may be more interests in the details of Anonymous
in Japan.

Thank you so much for your interest and hope to work with you
in the future.

Sincerely,

Nazu

Hello Barrett,

Thank you so much for your response and letting us know that you'd be available Saturday.

We are currently working on the logistics, too, and it would be very helpful
if you'd tell me what city we should be coming to do this interview.
Some article says that you currently live in Brooklyn, New York?
We'd prefer your house or office where you have your computer(s).

Thanks again!!

Nazu

Dear Mr. Barrett Brown and Project PM,

I am writing to you on behalf of a television program entitled "Mr. Sunday" on Fuji Television Network,
one of the major television networks in Japan, who is seeking to interview a former member
of Anonymous.

"Mr. Sunday" is a news magazine program that features various latest events and is scheduled to cover
an offline-meeting by Anonymous to be held this coming Saturday in Tokyo, Japan.  As part of showing
what Anonymous is and has been doing, we'd like to introduce different perspectives and are wondering
if we might be able to interview someone who was involved in the past Anonymous operations as a member
but now has quit it for his/her reasons or objections to what Anonymous has been doing lately.

The areas that we'd like to cover during the interview are as follows.

1)  What were your reasons or motivations to be involved in Anonymous operations in the past?
2)  What were the operations' purposes at that time?
3)  What were your assumptions or anticipations that the operations might bring to the society and how did you feel about it?
4)  Why did you quit?

If possible, we'd like to visit your house (or office) and conduct this interview in front of your computer.  Though we are aware that it is such a short notice, we are requesting to do this interview sometime on Saturday, July 7, to meet our deadline of our broadcast on Sunday, July 8.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to email me or call me in Los Angeles.  I am a production researcher/coordinator for "Mr. Sunday" based in the U.S.  Thank you so much for your attention and consideration in advance.

Sincerely,

Nazu Kikkawa
"Mr. Sunday" on Fuji TV Network
