My reply:

Hello _________!

Thank you for thinking of me, but I retired in 2015 and am now a full-time writer and painter. I have completely lost interest in your topic, and am at that stage in my life in which I do only what I like and only what gives me the greatest pleasure, 

May I also suggest that you select a topic of true historical value.
