Here is the letter he sent out:
As the (Edited out: Was a large auto company) engagement comes to a definitive end, I find myself at a good transition point to explore new and challenging opportunities. As most of you are surely aware, the battle of the boy bands has taken an unexpected turn of late. What was once a stable and commercially viable oligopoly is now showing obvious signs of disparities. The cause for the divergence stems from a number of marketing issues and positioning failures which I will not delve into at this junction.
Needless to say, the opportunity to contribute in refacing the franchise is a quest that entices the underdog in all of us. Hence I will be taking my leave to fulfill my insatiable need for a challenge.
Now some may refer to my position as "the Sixth Backstreet Boy", but I would prefer the term "Backstreet Plus". With a bold and exciting new image and sound, we aim to revolutionize the teenie bopper market well into the next millenium (though I would settle for the next quarter).
I am truly a better person for having known all of you, and for that I express my sincere gratitude. As much I would love to maintain contact with everyone, I also realize that the stress of touring tends to minimize any consistent access to most media of communication. Nevertheless, rest assured that starting Monday, 25 June 2001, I can always be reached at one of my greatest hits, such as
shapeofmyheart@hotmail.com
iwantitthatway@hotmail.com
largerthanlife@hotmail.com
...
Actually, DO NOT send emails to any of the above addresses - I think one of the other "Boys" has already laid claim.
Regards,
