Dear _________________:
The rumor mill has been working overtime here at _________________, and everybody seems to think that I am the one with the real "inside information."
Sorry, folks, but I know as little as you do. The only benefit I have is that I know that these rumors cannot possibly be either confirmed or denied until _________________, so I am not spending any time worrying about situations that might not even exist.
I'd suggest that all of us try to refrain from speculation until _________________. We would all do well to focus on known realities and stop circulating rumors.
Sincerely,
_________________
