Return to the office? No thanks!

I've worked for my company for nearly 8 years and after multiple conversations, last week I resigned due to the push to relocate to a different city, despite the majority of my team being remote. I sent an email to our CEO on the way out. The job market is good out there folks and make sure you advocating for yourself. Anyone have the odds on this guy responding? I put them at about zero.
