Captain Excalibur tells us that some of the main cast are watching what we, the fans, are doing. Don't you think it’s time we unite and show our support? Here's an action for us all to do together while we continue calling and e-mailing Alex Mahon, CEO of ShineTV:
You can either copy/paste this example e-mail or take the steps I will show you below to write your own letter to Alex Mahon:
Subject: "FAO Alex Mahon: Merlin Fans Unite"
Dear Alex Mahon,
I believe that Colin Morgan, Bradley James, Katie Mcgrath, Angel Coulby, and the other cast members want to reprise their roles as Merlin, Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen. If the passion can be revived, they will be more than happy to return.
I am a fan and I am the passion, creativity, and enthusiasm. I am the reason why it came back, series after series, and I am the reason why it will come back again.
I am not, however, the very first fan of the show. The very first fans were the cast and I will prove that to you by sharing with you these links.
In this video, Colin tells the interviewer how much he loves working on Merlin. He's very enthusiastic about the possibility of more story lines after Season 5.

In this article, the Knights (Adetomiwa, Tom, Rupert, and Eoin) all talk about how much they love working on Merlin and how they were fans before they joined the show's cast. You can see how passionate they are:

If you jump ahead 43 seconds in this video, you will see how Katie feels about her character Morgana. She also says "I want the love of Camelot!"

In this article, Eoin Macken and Alexander Vlahos talk about the ending of Merlin and Eoin agrees with a Twitter follower that the last series "failed":

If you jump to the end of this video, you can see that Bradley says he thinks people will "jump onboard" to make another series if they can regain the enthusiasm that got them this far.

Thank you so much for reading my message. Please, Alex, contact Captain Excalibur as soon as you can so that together we can move ahead in reaching out to the cast. I want them to know that we can do it! We can bring Merlin back!
Yours respectfully,
(Your name)
(Your age)
(Your city and country name)
STEPS TO FOLLOW:
1. Write in the subject line: "FAO Alex Mahon: Merlin Fans Unite"
2. Start your letter telling Alex Mahon that you believe Colin Morgan, Bradley James, Katie Mcgrath, Angel Coulby, and the other cast members want to be in Merlin again if the passion can be revived within the development team. Then tell her that you, as the fan, are the passion, creativity, and enthusiasm that they need in order to want it to come back. You have always been the reason why they came back and you are the reason why it will come back again.
3. Tell Alex that the very first fans of Merlin were the cast and you will prove it to her by sharing with her some links/ videos.
4. Now, you can do one or all of the following as many times as you'd like:
a). Find a video on YouTube or other website that shows an interview (from any series/season) by one or more of the cast members, where they are excited to be working on Merlin and send the link to Alex along with a short explanation of who is in the video and what they are saying.
b). Find at least one online news article of an interview with one or more of the cast members who are talking about how much they love working on Merlin and send the link to Alex along with a quote or explanation from the link of who says it and what they say.
c). Find a video or written article where one or more of the cast is talking about what they wanted for their characters before the ending happened. This would be Comic Con 2012 (in July) or anything prior to that.
d). Find a video or written article interview where one or more of the cast is talking about how much they will miss Merlin, how they wish for another series, or how they didn't like the ending and send it to Alex with a quote or explanation of who is speaking and what they are saying.
e). If you have any personal experience with the cast (for example, you met them and spoke to them directly) tell her what you know. Were they excited? Did they love their job? Did they seem happy to have worked on Merlin? Tell her this.
5. Thank Alex for reading your message and also urge her to contact our leader (Captain Excalibur, Inspirer, Admin, etc.) so that we can find out the best way to reach out to the cast members.

OUR GOAL
We as fans need to rally together and create passion so that if the cast does have doubts about returning we can give them what they want to see! That is: The love of Camelot! Passion! Enthusiasm! And Creativity! They loved their job and they loved the characters they acted for; we see that and we need to prove it to ShineTV!
Come on everyone, we can do it!
