He basically writes letters to everybody he can--the CEO of the company I used to work for (I am now self-employed). Their addresses are easily available. Yes, it is unwanted contact. No question. Annoying, etc. etc. But, again, what does one do? That is the thorny question. No law against writing letters.

So here are the alternatives, as I see them:
1. A defamation suit. I have the grounds. But they are
prohibitively costly to pursue--so I would be victimizing myself financially! Not a practical solution.

2. Filing a harassment complaint. I guess the short answer is yes, if I have grounds. But even if I do, I am not sure this would resolve the problem.

3. Confronting him, by phone or letter. I just don't know. It has never been tried--by me, that is. A tough letter from my (former) company's general counsel did not work.

4. Continuing to do nothing. This has not worked, in the sense that it has not caused him to go away.

This is a toughie! Any thoughts on these alternatives? Have I left anything out?
