sent me this and kindly asked it to be posted here <3Here's the information you need in order to join into the global Project Save Merlin! (aka Merlin2Return)
You can find the full instructions here at this link:

What to do in steps:
_ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _
FOR EMAIL:
Mission -- Contact Alex Mahon from Shine Limited in order to tell her we want Merlin tv show back for more seasons. Her email addresses are: Alex.Mahon@shinegroup.tv and Info@shinegroup.tv (use both)
1) Write your thoughts and feelings about how much you loved Merlin but disliked the ending. Give reasons why you disliked it.
2) Ask politely for Merlin to return so that the ending can be corrected.
3) You must do this: express how it’s a FACT the majority of Merlin fans were NOT SATISFIED with the ending at all and were surprised etc.
5) Clearly state you are not interested in a spin-off series when they ended Merlin so badly; you want the original cast.
6) Give your NAME, your AGE and your LOCATION.
7) At the end of this, 13 questions are listed that you should ask (copy and paste or write it in your own words). Add as many questions you want.
8) Your Email SUBJECT FIELD should say: “FAO of Alex Mahon” or “ALEX MAHON” or “SHINETV CEO ALEX MAHON” (FAO means: For the Attention Of)
9) Once you have typed up your email, copy and save it on your computer
Strategy: I want you ALL to send this email to Alex Mahon as many times a day as you can. Let me repeat this, I want you to send it as often in the day as you can, if that means every hour then every hour or more. Whatever you can do! Even in the evenings (outside office hours). I want you to send this 100s of times to Alex Mahon and I want you to do this for 7 DAYS!!! (No matter when you begin give yourself 7 days to do this – 7 consecutive days)
If ALL of you do this then there is NO way they will ignore us and they will respond. Your priority is to be noticed and to seek out answers for your email and the questions you place within it.
_ _ __ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ _
FOR PHONE:
Mission -- Contact Alex Mahon from Shine Limited in order to tell her we want Merlin tv show back for more seasons. If you're calling From UK: 0207-985-7000; if you're calling outside UK: (your international code) 44207- 985-7000
1) Write your thoughts and feelings like you would if you were writing an email.
2) CALL SHINETV GROUP in the UK (please use Google for your international code if you don't know it.)
3) Ask for Alex Mahon. If they say you can speak to her PA (Personal Assistant: Gemma Scott) then speak to her and ask if you can speak to Alex Mahon. Keep pushing, she may allow it but most of the time she will take a message – so now you use this opportunity to explain your thoughts and feelings about Merlin and how you disliked the ending (as you have written in the email) you are also again to say that the MAJORITY didn’t like the end at all (again same as the email)
4) You must make it clear that you are not interested in a spin-off series when they ended Merlin so badly
5) You are also now going to ASK the 13 questions that I will list at the end of this and you are seeking answers for these.
6) Be polite and friendly (remember you are speaking to people that have feelings so be nice and reach out to them).
7) You are also to give your Name, Age, and Location.
8) Ask the PA if Alex can call you back and leave your number with her.
9) If you do manage to speak to Alex then repeat this all with her, too.
Strategy: Everyone should CALL ALEX MAHON 1-3 times a day. (If you do not live in the UK, use Google to see the time difference of your country with UK). Office hours in the UK are usually 9am-5pm (GMT). You can call more than 3 times if you want to but 1-3 times will be enough. YOU are to CALL every day for 7 weekdays!!! (this means not Saturday or Sunday. - No matter when you begin give yourself 7 days to do this – 7 weekdays/office days in total)

On August 6th, the Leader of the Merlin2Return campaign will take his own action to help unite us in our efforts. If you don't see this post right away, it's ok, still try to do it if it's within the month of August. We're all doing it together so the impact will be much greater!

Pendragon Contest at CM-MerlinFan
My time here has been a bit idle of late, in the fact I'm also admin at #CM-MerlinFan (https://www.deviantart.com/cm-merlinfan) . Right now, there's a Morgana themed contest going on, which you are all cordially invited to participate in if you'd like. There's prizes (1st place CORE membership!), a judging process, and I will admit, partially I just want to see more Morgana fanart so she can be promoted again! Deadline for submissions is 11:59 (PDT) September 26th, 2017.
Last month's contest ended with two entries, and July had three, so there's a good possibility people will participate. Still, the interest is lower than I'd like. That's why I want to invite you all to join so
VOTE Katie
Please vote for Katie McGrath as your favorite actress in the Festive Fandom tournament! Any and all votes count, so please share with friends you know and let's get the ball rolling if for no other reason but to support Katie as her Morgana role. I mean, how often does it happen that we get to do that?

Even now, fans love Morgana
Hi Morgana Fan Club,
We've been quiet a long time now, yes? BBC Merlin has been out of our lives for awhile without any new episodes, and how do you feel about Morgana in 2016? I haven't gone back and re-watched the show in a long time; it's taboo in the entertainment industry. No one will talk about it except the fans. Lately Alexander Vlahos has said a few things, and the other knights have been good to talk when fans request it, but for the most part, it's quiet.
We fans still remember, though. The kind Morgana, the dark Morgana, all her forms, good and bad, we love. I wish Katie Mcgrath the best in her career, yet I miss her first major

UPDATE: Great news!! Anyone whose e-mailed Alex Mahon might have already seen her reply, but she's contacted fans and she is very positive about Merlin's return or if in the very least, a good quality show about Camelot in the future. Click on the link: it's what the Leader of the Merlin2Return campaign has to say about it:

And her email:
Hello
I apologise this has taken a few days to respond to your many emails, but it has been worth thinking to reply in more detail.
As some of you know, I’ve said before that we greatly appreciate your support for Merlin, and we really respect, and in fact admire, the way you have marshalled together in such a concerted way to try to see the series return. It is as ever humbling to see how much the show is loved, even if this comes with a clear frustration with how the series finished at season 5.
As such let me try and explain further some of the circumstances by which the show ended and where we now stand as, there is no conspiracy or cover up but rather it coming back is not down to a simple yes or no, although we at Shine would be delighted for it to continue or return.
If it were that simple, believe me, a campaign would not be necessary; after all, we as a production company were making a show that was successful, one that was rating better than any of its predecessor series for the BBC and around the world. (We are very aware, and very proud of, Merlin’s international and cross generational appeal.)
As you know, the BBC would have commissioned another series and we as the production company would have made another, but at the heart of any successful drama is the creative talent, the brilliant writers, cast and crew, that had and realised the vision and they felt they wanted to end the story when they did.
As I’ve said before it wasn’t an easy decision for them, it was one taken after discussion between them all, and not everyone may have agreed (hence you may well hear from some cast that they wanted to do another) but it was a collective one that Shine as the producers and the BBC had to respect. Creative-led decisions to end series when they are still very popular are still rare in TV; usually if you have a hit you keep making it until a broadcaster decides they no longer want to order it, but they happen and this is one of those cases.
And when they do the endings can be polarising. As a viewer I have felt that myself when shows I love have ended, and I therefore sympathise. You only need to read the different chat rooms devoted to Seinfeld, Sopranos or even Spooks endings to see that feelings are still raw and opinions divided, years on from transmission. Everyone is entitled to like or not like how Series 5 concluded.
But as a company we pride ourselves on empowering the creatives we work with, and we allow them to realise their vision without interference from beginning to end. Though I appreciate that this throws up unanswered questions like the ones you have all emailed me, this was their vision and their ending. In the same way that you wouldn’t expect the head of record company to speak about an artists’ songs, we also respect our creative and writing teams and that includes how they chose to close series five.
So where does all that leave us as regards your wishes for Merlin to return..?
Well, never say never, and we remain open minded. But as it stands Merlin in the form that you all love is not set to return for the reasons above. The creators and cast having made the decision are onto new companies, shows or films. Again, changing this isn’t in the gift of one person but we remain open minded and if circumstances were ever to change in the future though we would be happy to make it. Indeed we have a team who are looking at whether and how the series could re-launch as we do believe that there are more stories to tell from Camelot albeit in a different way. Stories that are faithful to that universe and can stand shoulder to shoulder with the last five series, but which take the concept and world of the series in a new direction. I know it is made it very clear on the page to say ‘no to a spin-off’, and let me be clear, we do not assume any support for this, and we want to be clear that any new show would not be developed at the expense of a series 6 for the above reasons. But in the montage you have on the page of shows that have been brought back, there are several examples of brilliantly executed new departures on much loved concepts or series - Battlestar Gallactica and Star Trek to name but two. Our ambitions are similar. To achieve this we need the time and the team to craft the right stories and of course a willing buyer to fund the production.
I’ve said before that we’ll release any news on any of the above on our social media sites, and if you’ll have me I’ll join merlin2return to update directly when we have any news.
We are fully aware the support for any new iteration has to be earned, but if you want us to let you know as we progress and you have my absolute assurance that we will listen to your thoughts and feedback as we develop these ideas.
Best regards and thank you for your passion and continued support – it is incredibly impressive.
