Steve, although I agree wholeheartedly with your reasoning and share similar frustrations over institutional corruption, I would have framed this letter less antagonistically, knowing that it takes much less than what we generally assume to antagonise such folk. They will not respond to anything other than what they perceive to be a genuine invitation for them to show off their supposed expertise. For example, I would not have said, "I am just creating a paper trail," since it implies that a response is unnecessary. Also, I would send the letter as an official document via registered mail and elect for a signature upon receipt - if the intent is to generate legally binding evidence.
