In order to put the record straight on the current state of affairs concerning the future of Star Trek: Enterprise, we are reproducing a recent letter sent by John Wentworth (Executive Vice President, Marketing and Media Relations, Paramount Television) to Tim Brazeal, founder and campaign leader for SaveEnterprise.com.

Dear Mr. Brazeal,

Paramount Network Television and the producers of Star Trek: Enterprise are very flattered and impressed by the fans' passionate outpouring of attention for the show and their efforts to raise funds to continue the show's production.

We share your love for the series and the entire Star Trek franchise, which the studio has fostered and developed over four decades. However, the recent decision to conclude the show's run on UPN is final.

We can not and will not be able to accept funds from viewers to produce Star Trek: Enterprise or any other series.

Paramount Network Television is extremely proud of Star Trek: Enterprise and the accomplishments of its actors and producers and the entire crew, but we must bid farewell to the show. We believe the franchise is still very vital as evidenced by the fans' demand for books, DVDs and all sorts of related merchandise.

We are grateful for the fans' rich history of unwavering enthusiasm for all things Trek, and we hope they'll join us in looking forward to the next chapter of this enduring series in the future.

Sincerely,

John Wentworth
