Operation:FreeSpank 1998 - Milwaukee Bucks 

  June 16, 1998

  Dear Mr. Fillio:

  Thank you for alerting us of your desire and availability for the upcoming draft scheduled
  to be held Wednesday, June 24.  After reviewing your biographical information, I have passed
  on your name to our scouting department to be filed with our other free agent prospects.  
  That's right, Chris, you should be aware that you are not considered eligible for the 1998
  draft.  Since you received your degree in 1990 and were not taken in the 1990 draft, you are 
  now considered to be a free agent.  The good news is that you do not have to wait to speak 
  to teams about your availability, you are free to explore the open free agent market.
  
  As for our process regarding free agent candidates, we generally like to have members of our 
  basketball staff see the individual play before offering a player a contract.  Although your 
  statistics in the 1995 Big 6 Washington DC accounting city league are impressive, we can not 
  sign a player on numbers alone.  Maybe you have some film from your 1995 city league season
  or at least film from B level intramural league [games] at Notre Dame.

  Mr. Fillio, before you make the jump from the world of accounting to cash in on the
  "lucrative" (sic) deal awaiting you in the NBA, I ask you this.  If your intramural [team] 
  was unable to win a single game in four years of competition, do you honestly feel you are 
  ready to fill a productive role on an NBA roster at this time in your career?  Maybe your
  accounting firm has been unable to surround you with the necessary complimentary pieces
  necessary to advance past the first round to this point?  My suggestion would be to first 
  help your firm capture that elusive city league championship.  Then, you can step back and 
  say, "I've now accomplished everything at this level and I'm ready to move on."

  Nevertheless, we will keep your name in our files.  Please keep us informed of your most
  recent basketball accomplishments with relevant film or statistical information and thank 
  you for your interest in the Milwaukee Bucks.

  Yours in basketball,
	       Bob
