[Michael C. Vassallo]

Dear Mr. Norman,

My name is Michael C. Vassallo, and I am the author of the religious fiction and romance novel, "Agatha's Angel."  I received an email from someone with your name expressing admiration for my novel.  Before I reply to that email, I just want to be sure whether it came from you or if it was spam.  Please advise when you get a chance.  Thank you very much, sir.

Hi,Michael,

Although I do wish you all the best with your new publication, it was not me who emailed you. I'm not sure if it's AI or just some nuisance out there, but it has been happening a lot, and to several authors. Please ignore it, but please know that I wish you every sucess with your novel.

                                                                  Kindest regards,                                       -----Gordon Korman-----
